Slow initial sales convinced his first publisher to drop the novel, but it went on to become one of the best selling Brazilian books of all time. In the following year, COELHO published The Alchemist. In 1986, PAULO COELHO did the pilgrimage to Saint James of Compostella, an experience later to be documented in his book The Pilgrimage. Before dedicating his life completely to literature, he worked as theatre director and actor, lyricist and journalist. I really liked the fact that Paulo Coelho wrote this book from a real story.The Brazilian author PAULO COELHO was born in 1947 in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The excerpts presented from Maria’s diary are really good. He seems to have done quite some research on sex and he was successful, to some extent, in showing that making love is sacred. You must read this book to see how beautifully this part was presented.Ĭoelho certainly knows life and very well knows how to make the reader understand about it. But she meets a young man, with whom she falls in love, realizes that love has its true meaning when you give it the complete freedom. Like most of the prostitutes, sex is just a job for her, neither enjoying it nor wishing for it. She decides to become a prostitute under some circumstances. She thinks love does’t like her and isn’t for her in this life.
Only after leaving home, she comes to the realization that life’s full adventures and one should know to how to face and embrace them.
This book is about a young lady, Maria, who is like every other village girl, to start with, dreaming about future and hoping to have luxuries in life. “Eleven Minutes” was yet another interesting read from Coelho which was totally gripping till the end. Having read Paulo Coelho’s other books like “The Alchemist” and “Manuscript found in Accra”, I knew that his work won’t disappoint me.
