The Alchemist and Other Novels (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)

This collection gathers together in a single volume 3 extraordinary novels by international bestseller Paulo Coelho.
 
The Alchemist—Coelho’s masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined.
 
Eleven Minutes—In this scintillating tale of self-discovery Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken, must choose between pursuing a path of darkness or risking everything to find her own inner light and the possibility of true love.
  
The Witch of Portobello—How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of who we are? That is the central question of The Witch of Portobello, the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all.
