PAULO COELHO, página 5 de 29

O Vencedor Está Só é, segundo Paulo Coelho, uma fotografia do mundo em que vivemos. A acção, em ritmo acelerado, passa-se em 24 horas, durante o Festival de Cinema de Cannes. Mas não é a indústria cinematográfica que está em jogo para Igor Dalev, o empresário russo que chega à cidade francesa com a obsessão de recuperar Ewa, o grande amor da sua vida. Para chamar a atenção da ex-mulher, Igor transforma-se num assassino em série. Em torno desta mente doentia estão produtores, actores consagrados, candidatas a actriz, top models e estilistas, num retrato impiedoso da Superclasse, a elite, da elite que define o rumo da vida dos nossos dias. Transmitindo ao leitor pormenores de como vivem e se comportam as personagens baseadas na vida real, Paulo Coelho faz do seu romance não só um testemunho da crise de valores de um universo centrado nas aparências mas, acima de tudo, um thriller que se lê de um só fôlego.

En plein festival de Cannes, la Croisette fourmille de starlettes en mal de gloire, de puissants réalisateurs, d'acteurs de renom et de touristes surexcités. Parmi eux rôde également Igor, brisé par une rupture sentimentale douloureuse. Et qui a décidé de se venger. Les destins se croisent: Gabriela, jeune actrice naïve mais ambitieuse; Jasmine, mannequin rwandais exilé aux Pays-Bas; Javits, producteur influent et véreux; Hamid Hussein, styliste parti de rien et aujourd'hui au sommet de sa gloire... Tous tentent de se faire remarquer dans le monde vicieux et superficiel du show-business. Mais l'irruption d'Igor bouleversera leur vie à jamais. La Solitude du vainqueur fait le portrait d'un monde aux valeurs morales en perdition. Paulo Coelho dépeint une Croisette où les puissants écrasent les faibles, où les hommes s'accrochent à des espoirs illusoires de réussite et les femmes à des canons de beauté tyranniques pour atteindre un but superficiel et vain.

La redención del amor a traves de la entrega totalAmbientada en el atractivo entorno del festival de Cannes, El vencedor está solo va mucho más allá del lujo y el glamour, y nos aboca a una profunda reflexion acerca de la fuerza de los propios sueños y de cual es la escala de valores con la que nos medimos. Seguiremos los pasos de Igor, empresario ruso magnate de las comunicaciones, destrozado por una dolorosa ruptura sentimental, y conoceremos su delirante plan para atraer la atencion de su ex mujer. En su camino se cruzaran Gabriela, una joven y ambiciosa actriz; Jasmine, modelo de Ruanda exiliada en Europa; Javits, un productor influyente y corrupto; y Hamid, estilista que empezo de cero y esta hoy en la cima de su gloria. La aparicion de Igor cambiara para siempre las vidas de todos ellos. Un intenso, sincero y bien documentado viaje hacia nuestra constante fascinacion por la fama, el exito y el dinero, que se eleva hasta convertirse en un impactante reflejo del lado mas superficial, intrascendente y depredador del mundo en que vivimos.

A profound meditation on personal power and innocent dreams that are manipulated or undone by success, The Winner Stands Alone is set in the exciting worlds of fashion and cinema. Taking place over the course of 24 hours during the Cannes Film Festival, it is the story of Igor, a successful, driven Russian entrepreneur who will go to the darkest lengths to reclaim a lost love—his ex-wife, Ewa. Believing that his life with Ewa was divinely ordained, Igor has told her that he would destroy whole worlds to get her back. The confl ict between an individual evil force and society emerges, and as the novel unfolds, morality is derailed. Meet the players and poseurs behind the scenes at Cannes—the "superclass" of producers, actors, designers, and supermodels, as well as the aspiring starlets, has-been stars, and jaded hangers-on. Adroitly interweaving the characters' stories, Paulo Coelho uses his 12th novel to paint an engrossing picture of a world overrun by glamour and excess, and shows us the possibly dire consequences of our obsession with fame.

In his most personal novel to date, internationally best-selling author Paulo Coelho returns with a remarkable journey of self-discovery. Like the main character in his much-beloved The Alchemist, Paulo is facing a grave crisis of faith. As he seeks a path of spiritual renewal and growth, he decides to begin again: to travel, to experiment, to reconnect with people and the landscapes around him. Setting off to Africa, and then to Europe and Asia via the Trans-Siberian Railway, he initiates a journey to revitalize his energy and passion. Even so, he never expects to meet Hilal. A gifted young violinist, she is the woman Paulo loved five hundred years before-and the woman he betrayed in an act of cowardice so far-reaching that it prevents him from finding real happiness in this life.
