THE ALCHEMIST

Résumé du livre

In a 21st century torn between dazzling technological progress and the deepest human misery, an enigmatic man holds the key to a forgotten power: Alchemy.

From the seclusion of an ancient Catalan monastery to the heart of social unrest in a futuristic Barcelona, Rama begins the 'Great Work' ('Gran Obra'), a visionary project to challenge the system. But his power attracts the attention of dark forces – relentless corporations and corrupt governments – that will not hesitate to use violence, betrayal, and murder to silence him.
