About This Book
The beloved, bestselling international author of The Alchemist returns
with another haunting novel -- a thrilling journey into our constant
fascination with the worlds of fame, fortune, and celebrity.
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
twenty-four 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 once told her that he
would destroy whole worlds to get her back. The conflict 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 twelfth
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.
