The Alchemist's book is a novel by Paulo Coelho. This novel got a good reception by the public but it had bad critics and deeping analysis due to the sentences or parallelism in some texts with texts of the bible.
In fact some preachers have commented as introduction of theirs sermons.
(This is a another subject to discuss).
Certainly the comments of the old man ( center of chieftains) for Santiago ( The young pastor) was about a man who believed in dreams and was sold as slave (For inference this is Joseph the son of Jacob).
THIS IS AN AWESOME TITLE BECAUSE IN COVERS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF EXPEDITIONS THAT WENT BAD. YOU COULD ACTUALLY HAVE AN EXPEDITION THAT WENT BAD EVERY SINGLE YEAR FROM THE BEGINNING OF WHEN MAN KEPT LOGS TO TODAY.
