Eleven Minutes \ Once Minutos (Spanish edition): Una Novela
Autor Paulo Coelhoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 noi 2022
Once minutos cuenta la historia de María, una chica joven de un pueblo de Brazil, cuyo primer inocente encuentro con el amor la deja con el corazón roto. A temprana edad se convence de que nunca encontrará el amor verdadero y, en cambio, cree que “el amor es una cosa terrible que la hará sufrir”. Un encuentro fortuito en Río la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueña con encontrar fama y fortuna, pero termina trabajando como prostituta.
En Ginebra, la desesperanzada perspectiva que tiene sobre el amor se pone a prueba cuando conoce a un pintor joven y guapo. En esta odisea de autodescubrimiento, María debe elegir entre seguir el camino de la oscuridad -el placer sexual por mero gusto- o arriesgar todo para encontrar su propia luz interior y la posibilidad del amor verdadero.
“The book casts a curiously sweet spell.” – Entertainment Weekly
Eleven Minutes tells the story of Maria, a young girl from a Brazilian village whose first innocent brushes with love leave her heartbroken. At a tender age, she becomes convinced that she will never find true love, instead believing that “love is a terrible thing that will make you suffer.” A chance meeting in Rio takes her to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune, yet ends up working as a prostitute.
In Geneva, Maria’s despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria must choose between pursuing a path of darkness—sexual pleasure for its own sake—or risking everything to find her own inner light and the possibility of true love.

Notă biografică
One of the most influential writers of our time, Paulo Coelho is the author of thirty international bestsellers, including The Alchemist, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, Manual of the Warrior of Light, and Eleven Minutes. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Paulo is the recipient of 115 international prizes and awards, among them, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland.
