The book tells the story of a journey which covers two continents, during which it transforms the thinking and perceptions of the traveller, Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd. There isn't much need for a plot etched out in detail, and neither is the plot of primary importance; frankly, it is incidental to the story. Rather, Coelho has concentrated on the truth behind the meanings and ideas of certain consequences, and the actions preceding them.
