The Alchemist
Author: Paulo Coelho
The Alchemist tells the story of an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago. Spurred by a recurring dream, which he concludes to be prophetic, he consults a fortune teller, who concurs with him, telling him that there is a treasure in the pyramids in Egypt. Early in his journey, he meets an old king who introduces the idea of a Personal Legend and the thought that when you want something the entire universe conspires to make it happen. As the story unfolds, it brings home the truths about discovering ones personal legend and the path for self discovery.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Author: Richard Bach
Bach’s novel tells the story of Jonathan, a seagull whose passion for flying makes him different from other gulls. Jonathan’s wish to perfect his flying results in being outcast from his group. Although he is initially devastated, the experience gained makes him move to a higher plane where he meets other gulls like him, and helps him subsequently return to his flock. Bach weaves Jonathan’s character as a model for all those who refuse to conform, teaching virtues of love, forgiveness, and ways to reach ones true potential.
