Why is it that the story of narcissus was the prologue of the book The Alchemist? Is there a connection or are the 2 stories correlated? Why did paulo Coelho chose the story of Narcissus?
Thanks in advance...
The alchemist... the story of narcissus..?
I think the Alchemist was a story about a boy getting out from his ego centric safe box to follow his dream in the real world. Narcissus gives the starting shock to the Western reader who is trapped in the Cartesian cojeto, boy! you are not even the god of your self, not to say the whole world, you Cartesian idiot, don't follow dreams in yourself but in the real world!
