The Last Alchemist: The story of a search for life’s meaning

Prema wants to learn the secret of Alchemy, or of turning metals into Gold, and wishes to use the knowledge to purify his own soul. He finds an ancient, tattered book, which speaks of an immortal master alchemist living in the vicinity of the Taj Mahal, 150 years ago. He goes in search of that immortal master. But, was the ancient book recounting a truth? Does he find the master? Was the master alchemist really an immortal? And, if the master alchemist was really an immortal, how will it change Prema? Compulsively readable, The Last Alchemist is an intellectually and aesthetically immersive adventure, in the same vein as Paulo Coelho s books, and is an electrifying debut.
