The book (Alchemist) by Paulo Coelho is a fantasy and adventurous. The plot revolves around Santiago, a shepherd boy. He has nothing in his hand except few of his sheep from which he lived. The crux of the story is that: "When you really want something the whole universe conspires in your favour". This book is for those who have dreams in their life.The one who toils and suffer alot achieve what dey want. But what makes one from encounering it is fear. "Fear of suffering is worse than fear itself" Darkest hour of night came just before the dawn So this book gives the reader a kind of positivity and motivation to strive for what they want.

The author defines what is nation in this book in a lucid manner. Then he tries to compare nationalism in west, east(Japan) with our country (India). This book gives the reader real perspective behind the so called nationalism revolving around us. And above all author doesn't talk about nationalism in a economical connotation rather in a socio-economical way. Everyone has to read this book to get the essence of Nationalism. Happy learning :)
