Felipe II, el "Defensor de la Fe", es el soberano más poderoso del orbe. Largos años ha luchado contra judíos, musulmanes y protestantes, y sus súbditos han sufrido excesivos impuestos, pestes, intolerancia... Su reinado agoniza en tanto nace un mundo diferente: los castillos son sustituidos por las urbes, los campesinos por los villanos, los príncipes y reyes por los burgueses; falsos profetas dominan los caminos y hablan de un renacimiento. Felipe está cansado y enfermo; el arrepentimiento de sus excesos lo lleva a recluirse en el lugar que ha mandado construir para ser su última morada: El Escorial.

This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and soul-stirring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried near the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself a king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles in his path. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasure found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.

Something magical is happening inside this museum. . . . Jean’s life is the same day in and day out. Frozen in time by his painter father, the legendary Henri Matisse, Jean observes the ebb and flow of museum guests as they take in the works of his father and other masters like Renoir, Picasso, and Modigliani. But his world takes a mesmerizing turn when Claire, a new museum employee, enters his life. Night after night, Claire moves through the gallery where Jean’s painting hangs, mopping the floors, talking softly to herself to stem her loneliness, and gazing admiringly at the masterpieces above. The alluring man in the corner of the Matisse—is he watching her? Why does she feel a deepening pull to him, like he can see her truest self, her most profound secrets? Did he just move?
