Una novela cautivadora y audaz del autor de El Alquimista, bestseller con m&aaucute;s de un millÓn de ejemplares vendidos. En este nuevo relato, el novelista explora con gran sensibilidad la naturaleza sagrada del sexo y del amor y nos invita a enfrentar nuestros propios prejuicios y demonios. Once Minutos relata la historia de MarÍa, una joven proveniente de una villa brasileÑa, cuyos primeros roces inocentes con el amor le dejan con el corazÓn destrozado. A su tierna edad, se convence de que jamÁs hallarÁ el amor verdadero; al contrario, considera que "El amor es algo horrible que produce sufrimiento." Un encuentro casual en RÍo la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueÑa con conseguir fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, termina trabajando de prostituta. En Ginebra, la opiniÓn desesperanzada que MarÍa tiene del amor, se pone a prueba al conocer a un apuesto joven pintor. En esta odisea de descubrimiento personal, MarÍa debe elegir entre recorrer el camino de la oscuridad, el del sexo por el sexo mismo, o arriesgarlo todo para descubrir su propia "luz interior" y las posibilidad del sexo sagrado, es decir, del sexo dentro del contexto del amor.

Why we can not move this short period of unconsciousness into a beautiful bliss of 30 min, 1 hour, 2 hours love making. ...

Coelho somehow always manages to write a book about a man disguised as a book about a woman. This one is a very good exception, but still not a very good book. Literary speaking, of course. I will not allow myself to discuss the spiritual component, though, because I understand its importance but ...

In many ways this was a peculiar little book to read. The whole idea of telling a story of a prostitute as a cinderella-inspired fairy tale seemed contradicting, absurd and even morbid at times. But it worked. And as always I was completely captivated by Coelho's writing style.This book can be seen ...

The difference between a soap and a good movie is exactly the difference between this and a good book. A good book, just like a movie, creates a world, an atmosphere, where a little detail, like a smile of a particular character, says more than the actually words, because you know and understand the...
