The Alchemist: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Added on 30-08-2006
Like the one-time bestseller Jonathan Livingston Seagull, The Alchemist presents a simple fable, based on simple truths and places it in a highly unique situation. And though we may sense a bestselling formula, it is certainly not a new one: even the ancient tribal storytellers knew that this is the most successful method of entertaining an audience while slipping in a lesson or two. Brazilian storyteller Paulo Coehlo introduces Santiago, an Andalucian shepherd boy who one night dreams of a distant treasure in the Egyptian pyramids. And so he's off: leaving Spain to literally follow his dream.
Along the way he meets many spiritual messengers, who come in unassuming forms such as a camel driver and a well-read Englishman. In one of the Englishman's books, Santiago first learns about the alchemists--men who believed that if a metal were heated for many years, it would free itself of all its individual properties, and what was left would be the "Soul of the World." Of course he does eventually meet an alchemist, and the ensuing student-teacher relationship clarifies much of the boy's misguided agenda, while also emboldening him to stay true to his dreams. "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy confides to the alchemist one night as they look up at a moonless night.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself," the alchemist replies. "And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity." --synopsis, RxPG

Doctors
Added on 28-08-2006
The central characters of the book are Laura Castellano and Barney Livingston; best friends who attend Harvard Medical School together. It takes many years filled with scientific celebrity and disappointing affairs for them to finally to realize that they have something more than friendship for each other. Laura Castellano's character is truly an inspiration to women folk everywhere. She achieves success in her work but at the cost of her personal life. After a particularly bad relation he advises her in a beautiful one liner, "One complete person deserves another complete person". -- DR NINAD KANT MISHR, RxPG

Atlas Shrugged
Added on 26-08-2006
first, the shortcomings,as these are few and qualitative; the book is voluminous,dense,set in a different time and really gloomy.but as the real message starts to show itself a sense of deep connection with the book prevails.the book talks about the individual,his pride and ego and the desire to achieve.And how it builds and not hinder the respect for others, and more profoundly what respect is.
it handles all this with such depth that it changed my thinking for ever.
a must read.
