This is a "wise" book, with all the virtues and vices of the genre. Simplicity, a good heart, live in the moment--all true, I suppose, but you have to wonder if anyone, ever, actually managed to live that way.
Boy, Andalusian shepherd, is told by "seer" that his fortune is waiting for him at the pyramids. He sells his sheep and sets out. Tea salesman in Tangiers, then on a caravan. Oasis stopover . . . he sees two hawks fighting and warns the warriors at the oasis that they are about to be attacked. He meets the Alchemist, learns of the Philosopher's Stone.
