"By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" tells of Pilar, a frustrated scholar looking for some greater meaning in the endless cycle of her days. When a childhood friend contacts her, she is surprised to learn that her former playmate is now a charismatic spiritual leader, someone revered as a miracle worker. She is even more astonished when he reveals that Pilar has always been his great love. Confused by this sudden opportunity for a new chance at life, Pilar gradually comes to realize that the man she loves is being called upon to choose between her and his spiritual calling. As the suffering lovers travel through sacred sites in the French Pyrenees, the difficult choice they face offers a startling revelation about the divine and the redemptive power of love. Full of warmth and wisdom, joy and unexpected sorrow, their story is a magical celebration of the endless possibilities that life has to offer, and a fable about opening your heart to miracles.

Ist die Liebe einfach da als etwas, das uns zusteht? Oder müssen wir Liebe zuerst geben, um sie zu empfangen? Gibt es nur eine Liebe oder viele Erscheinungsformen?

Impara ad ascoltare il tuo cuore: è l'insegnamento che scaturisce da questa favola spirituale e magica. Alle frontiere tra il racconto da mille e una notte e l'apologo sapienziale, "L'alchimista" è la storia di una iniziazione. Ne è protagonista Santiago, un giovane pastorello andaluso il quale, alla ricerca di un tesoro sognato, intraprende quel viaggio avventuroso, insieme reale e simbolico, che al di là dello stretto di Gibilterra e attraverso tutto il deserto nordafricano lo porterà fino all'Egitto delle piramidi. E sarà proprio durante il viaggio che il giovane, grazie all'incontro con il vecchio alchimista, salirà tutti i gradini della scala sapienziale: nella sua progressione sulla sabbia del deserto e, insieme, nella conoscenza di sé, scoprirà l'anima del mondo, l'amore e il linguaggio universale, imparerà a parlare al sole e al vento e infine compirà la sua leggenda personale. Il miraggio, qui, non è più solo la mitica pietra filosofale dell'alchimia, ma il raggiungimento di una concordanza totale con il mondo, grazie alla comprensione di quei "segni", di quei segreti che è possibile captare solo riscoprendo un linguaggio universale fatto di coraggio, di fiducia e di saggezza che da tempo gli uomini hanno dimenticato.
