Narration As Books Eleven Minutes
Eleven Minutes is 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.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 has to 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 sacred sex, sex in the context of love.

*My first experience with Paolo Coelho wasn't so flattering, The Alchemist didn't live up for the hype for me. I said to myself I should pick up another novel since he has too many and they are all successful. .and I'm so glad I did. This particular novel is the perfect mixture of hating and loving a novel it's full of turns and twists that not all readers would tolerate, However, and regardless of the intensity of the topics, I found it an eye-opening. The exposur On women's anatomy would helpI was uncomfortable with obscene parts of the book , but I admit I liked the way this book dealt with such instincts of human nature (which are more like Taboos) , specially in its darkest format ( prostitution)-..It was always a wonder for me how can a woman accept transforming herself into a commodity ..just a sexual tool ! and worse get used to it & be Insensitive ! , and why some ask to buy sex by money ? or from anther side buy company - or someone to listen to - by money ? , why such
When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds.Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called maria. Wait a minute. "Once upon a time" is how all the best children's stories begin and "prostitute" is a word for adult. how can I
Haha, oh boy. Mr. Coelho here. In general, you try too much. In retrospect though, I have come to several conclusions. Some of them even about this author too. Let us be frank and shameless. Paulo Coelho has always been a one-trick pony. Somewhere along his existence as the main go-to writer for the pseudo-intellectuals, he perfected a formula. Which he pretty much copied and pasted more or less throughout his career. Let's be fair, most writers flounder with their themes, often just repeat
Boring as fuck. Theme is as repetitive as all Coelho's books. Don't read this.
Reluctantly admit to having read this subterranean book, and there is absolutely no excuse, as I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER, after The Alchemist. I only remembered having read it because I was trying to find something on my top shelf (the one with the "Let's forget I own them"-books), and it fell into my hands. A quick scan of its content reminded me that even quick scans are a waste of time when it comes to Coelho. Note to self: until I find the company of sheep more educating than reading, his
I didn't find this nearly as good as The Alchemist. I do not know if Coelho was trying to really get in the mindset of a woman by over-analyzing sex, but I felt a real woman would be less philosophical and more emotional about her experiences. It seemed to me that she was detached from herself and no matter what shocking things would come her way, she would still never be phased by it and I just felt it was too dehumanized. Philosophical rampages on love and being the mother and friend to her
