Produktinformationen zu „The Winner Stands Alone “
The story is set during the Cannes International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman.

Igor is insanely jealous and he told Ewa that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise... THE WINNER STANDS ALONE is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Paulo Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and money obsessed culture.
Klappentext zu „The Winner Stands Alone “
New York Times BestsellerA Story of Love and Obsession
In The Winner Stands Alone, Paulo Coelho takes us to the Cannes Film Festival, where the so-called superclass-those who have made it in the dreammaker's world of fashion and cinema-gathers. At stake are money, power, and fame-things that 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?
Autoren-Porträt von Paulo Coelho
One of the most influential writers of our time, Paulo Coelho is the author of thirty international bestsellers, including The Alchemist, Warrior of the Light, Brida, Veronika Decides to Die, and Eleven Minutes. He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters and a United Nations Messenger of Peace. Paulo is the recipient of 115 international prizes and awards, among them, the Chevalier de l'Ordre National de la Légion d'Honneur (Legion of Honor). Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, he soon discovered his vocation for writing. He worked as a director, theater actor, songwriter, and journalist. In 1986, a special meeting led him to make the pilgrimage to Saint James Compostela (in Spain). The Road to Santiago was not only a common pilgrimage but a turning point in his existence. A year later, he wrote The Pilgrimage, an autobiographical novel that is considered the beginning of his literary career. He lives in Geneva, Switzerland.
