The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Before he could say anything to the alchemist, the two horsemen had become ten, and then a hundred. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist put his hand into the hole, and then his entire arm, up to his shoulder.

The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z And then, as if the desert wanted to demonstrate that the alchemist was right, two horsemen appeared from behind the travelers. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “I’m going to guide you across the desert,” the alchemist said. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z As for said alchemist, if he was having any luck with his alkahest, he was keeping it as much a secret as his key ingredient.

The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z They were surrounded by gigantic dunes, and the boy looked at the alchemist to see whether he had sensed anything. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “That’s it! Maybe no one here knows what an alchemist is! Find out who it is who cures the people’s illnesses!” The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist’s hand rested—casually—on the hilt of his sword, but there was nothing casual in the malice that burned in his gaze. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z The boy remembered the crystal merchant who had always wanted to go to Mecca, and the Englishman in search of the alchemist. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z If he was seeing anything, it was the mocking faces of the other alchemists, or the cool calculations of the queen herself, ordering up miracles like breakfast. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z At the end of the day, the boy went looking for the alchemist, who had taken his falcon out into the desert.

One Hundred Years of Solitude 1967-05-30T00:00:00Z Of course, he had to get rid of the alchemist first. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z And seizing the boy’s bag, the alchemist gave the gold coins to the chief. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z It looked as if an alchemist had distilled a dozen swords, and when the crucible had cooled this was lying in the bottom: a sword in its pure form. The Name of the Wind 2007-03-27T00:00:00Z The boy leapt as well, but away from the alchemist. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z For they had something the alchemists did not: a critical community prepared to take nothing on trust. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z “I’m an alchemist simply because I’m an alchemist,” he said, as he prepared the meal. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z But there were two people who were smiling: the alchemist, because he had found his perfect disciple, and the chief, because that disciple had understood the glory of God. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist was ready, and he mounted his own steed and placed the falcon on his left shoulder. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z An alchemist would probably live in a manner that was different from that of the rest of the people at the oasis, and it was likely that in his tent an oven was continuously burning. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Azoth distilled from the alchemist’s own spirit had no effect on it at all. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z He winced when Thyon jabbed in his needle, and winced again, because the alchemist missed the spirit vein and hit a blood vessel instead. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z The alchemist lighted the fire, and the monk brought him some lead, which the alchemist placed in an iron pan. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “The alchemist is two hundred years old,” the Englishman had told him. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist followed as the boy’s horse ran for almost half an hour. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist dismounted, and told the escorts they could return to the camp. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “Continue in the direction of the Pyramids,” said the alchemist. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Of course ‘made to work’ is a slippery concept: plenty of alchemists thought they had seen base metal turn into gold, and plenty of doctors thought they had cured their patients through bloodletting. The Invention of Science 2015-09-17T00:00:00Z That night, he told all of this to the alchemist. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist told the boy to place the shell over his ear. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The alchemist erased the circle in the sand, and the snake slithered away among the rocks. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z He was no alchemist, no builder, no expert on metals or magnets. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z “Your eyes show the strength of your soul,” answered the alchemist. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “My heart is a traitor,” the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horses. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “Good afternoon, ma’am. I’m trying to find out where the alchemist lives here at the oasis.” The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z They were: a mathematician, a natural philosopher, and, to no one’s surprise, the alchemist, Thyon Nero. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z “My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer,” the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z But he kept quiet, because he had heard what the alchemist said to the monk. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “To show you one of life’s simple lessons,” the alchemist answered. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z They were silent for a moment, and then agreed that the boy and the alchemist could move along.

The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z “To get rid of it,” he told the alchemist, as sure as he had ever been of anything. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z “And what went wrong when other alchemists tried to make gold and were unable to do so?” The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z Every alchemist who had ever lived and died in search of it had had the answer all the time, running through his very veins. Strange the Dreamer 2017-03-28T00:00:00Z “He has brought money to give to your tribe,” said the alchemist, before the boy could say a word. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z And the alchemist understood that the boy’s heart had returned to the Soul of the World. The Alchemist 1988-01-01T00:00:00Z The growth was thick here, and the ground turned to mud as if by an alchemist’s touch, but they managed to reach the top of the mountain.
