Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist
Several days ago I just finished listening to audiobook of this title (in Czech of course). Impression from this book is really serious. And that lead me to this post. I thing everyone should read it. At least once. For some that can represent just a story about a boy who is experiencing extraordinary experiences, but for the others the story of this book can change their understanding of their lives.
I was surprised when I realised that several ideas in this story are precisely analogic to what I understand as modern physics. Just one case: Theory of everything, or TOE, is what scientists are looking for today, and we are told that the alchemist emeral plate in this book explains everything. There is really lot of astrophysics and philosophy behind this story.
