Michael Dukelsky:

MD> What is the benefit of reading English translations from
MD> other languages and not books written in English?

I sometimes read translations from my native Russian that I
may better translate myself (double meaning intended).

MD> I'd understand it if the book were really a good
MD> literature. But from my point of view Althemist is not,
MD> it is more like graphomania.

One aphorism from The Alchemist, "Once you make a decision,
the universe conspires to make it happen", is often
attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson, but I did not find it in
any of his essays.  If Coelho wrote it himself, he is not so
bad at all at all!
