El vencedor está solo (Biblioteca Paulo Coelho)
El vencedor está solo (Biblioteca Paulo Coelho) | Paulo Coelho
La redención del amor a través de la entrega total. Descubre en El vencedor está solo un intenso, sincero y bien documentado viaje hacia nuestra fascinación por la fama, el éxito y el dinero. En el atractivo entorno del festival de Cannes, durante 24 horas seguiremos los pasos de Igor, un empresario ruso cuya aparición transformará la vida de quienes le rodean. Adéntrate en la obra de un autor provocador y valiente que rompe con los esquemas preconcebidos de nuestra sociedad. Un fenómeno literario con millones de seguidores en las redes sociales. Ambientada en el atractivo entorno del festival de Cannes, El vencedor está solo va mucho más allá del lujo y del glamour, y nos aboca a una profunda reflexión acerca de los propios sueños y de cuál es la escala de valores con la cual nos medimos. Durante 24 horas seguiremos los pasos de Igor, un magnate ruso de las comunicaciones destrozado por una dolorosa ruptura sentimental con un delirante plan para atraer la atención de su mujer. En su camino se cruzarán Gabriela, una joven y ambiciosa actriz; Jasmine, modelo de Ruanda exiliada en Europa; Javits, un productor influyente y corrupto, y Hamid, un estilista en la cima de su gloria. La aparición de Igor cambiará para siempre las vidas de todos ellos. En palabras de su autor: "En ocasiones todos nos escondemos en nuestra indiferencia. La única manera de prevenir la indiferencia es entendiendo que el alma sufre, y sufre mucho, cuando la obligamos a vivir superficialmente."

A heart wrenching tale of how success and commitment to luxury distort our ideals to the point of relinquishing the ones we love and care for most.

"If you love someone, you must be prepared to set them free."

" Success is both an addiction and an enslavement...." ( This is the best line I've read in months.)

There are plenty more lines from this book that I wish to put here, sadly I don't have enough characters left. ?.

Mehso-so

This is sooo Paulo Coelho. 😂 It was nice to read him again. The last time was years and years ago. I feel like back then I got somehow more inside his stories. I remember loving The Devil and miss Prym and Veronika decides to die. This was ok but I still think those two as my favourites.

Megabooks I haven‘t seen a frog in years. #poorenvirinment #climatechangesucks 4y
Martta @Megabooks I think frogs need very clean water around where they live. Atleast I remember somebody telling me when I was a child that if a pond has frogs in/around it then the water is relatively clean. 🤔 4y
Megabooks I learned something similar to what you learned, and the surface water in my county has a lot of pesticides and animal waste from farming. I also learned that amphibians are the first markers of climate change in an area, and I haven‘t regularly seen frogs in 20 years. 😩 4y

Martta @Megabooks Oh no! I'm glad that (almost) everyone is starting to take the climate change seriously. Which country are you from? 4y
Megabooks @Martta the US, Kentucky state and a rural area of it. What about you? 4y
Martta @Megabooks Finland, Helsinki/Vantaa area (two cities very close to each other, I live close to their border) 4y
