The Englishman is disappointed when he learns that Santiago learns from books because he believes that true knowledge and wisdom can only be gained through lived experiences and practical learning, rather than through mere theory and book knowledge.

Santiago views alchemy as a deeply personal journey tied to his quest for self-discovery and achieving his Personal Legend. He sees it as a spiritual process that transcends mere material transformation, emphasizing intuition and connection to the world.
