In The Winner Stands Alone, Paulo Coelho has returned to the
important themes of Eleven Minutes and The Zahir: Love and
Obsession. He offers a suspenseful novel about the fascinating
worlds of fortune and celebrity, where the commitment to luxury and
success at any cost often prevents one from hearing what the heart
actually desires.
Coelho takes us to the Cannes Film Festival, where the so-called
Superclass gathers----those who have made it in the dreammaker's
world of fashion and cinema. Some of them have even reached the
very top and are afraid to lose their lofty positions. Money,
power, and fame are at stake----things for which most people are
prepared to do anything to keep.
At this modern vanity fair we meet Igor, a Russian millionaire;
Middle Eastern fashion czar Hamid; American actress Gabriela, eager
to land a lead role; ambitious criminal detective Savoy, hoping to
resolve the case of his life; and Jasmine, a woman on the brink of
a successful modeling career.
Who will succeed in identifying his or her own personal dream
among the many prefabricated ones----and succeed in making it come
true?
