I had read 'The Alchemist' long back, intrigued by what such a lot of people were finding so fanciful about. I agree to most of what has been written here. But then since positivity is all about seeing the open half of the door when the other half is shut, I wish to add that there are certainly some takeaways from the book, and therefore it's not an entirely pointless read.
The protagonist returning to his own place in search of his treasure does not actually take away the importance of the journey he makes. With a pair of change of clothes and a mattress to sleep in, we may go around the world, but as Alfredo tells Salvatore in 'Nuovo Cinema Paradiso', we got to go away a long time, for many, many years, before coming back and finding our people again, and the land where we were born...
