"Undici minuti" racconta la storia di Maria, una giovane ragazza brasiliana che, seguendo il miraggio di una vita piu facile, si trasferisce da Rio de Janeiro in Europa, a Ginevra. Qui, dopo il tentativo di lavorare come modella, comincia a esercitare la prostituzione e, dagli incontri con i suoi clienti, sviluppa la sua particolare conoscenza del mondo. Gli undici minuti del titolo, il limitato arco di tempo che Maria dedica a ciascun uomo, diventano quindi lo strumento attraverso il quale la ragazza entra in contatto con l'anima degli sconosciuti che incontra. E sara proprio uno di questi uomini, il pittore Ralf Hart, ad aprirle le porte di una nuova consapevolezza.

When Mata Hari arrived in Paris she was penniless. Soon she was feted as the most elegant woman in the city. A dancer who shocked and delighted audiences; a confidant and courtesan who bewitched the era's richest and most powerful men. But as paranoia consumed a country at war, Mata Hari's lifestyle brought her under suspicion. Until, in 1917 she was arrested in her hotel room on the Champs Elysees and accused of espionage. Written as a series of letters, THE SPY tells the unforgettable story of a woman who dared to break the conventions of her time, and paid the price.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOKIt is a novel woven around a deeply human story, which exposes the transformative power of dreams, the importance of listening to your heart, and understanding messages that are not transmitted through words.It follows the adventures of Santiago, a young Andalusian shepherd, who embarks on a journey through the desert in search of a treasure. The reader travels through a world populated by signs and dreams, in which he suffers moments of sadness with the character. The reader is happy for his achievements, is enthusiastic about the search for the fundamental stone, and finally discovers that love is the true transforming force. With that said, he discovers the soul of the world.Why read this fiction book? Because this book is entertaining and simple. It allows an existential vision that invites reflection, and the message that is presented is that when one wants something with great intensity, the whole Universe conspires to make this desire a reality. The lessons Santiago learns in the story, will become lessons for the reader in their own life.INTRODUCTIONThe Alchemist is a symbolic book, and so it must be read. Alchemy was a discipline that interested Coelho, who was attracted to the mystical idea of turning metals into gold, or of finding the Philosophers Stone and with it the Elixir of Eternal Life. He read all existing literature about alchemy, met with alchemists, and started some practices, but the results were invalid, so he abandoned all mystic practice for a while.In 1981, he met RAM (Regnus, Agnus, Mundi), a hidden Catholic order, and from them he became familiar with Christian language and symbology, which he then overturned in the book that is being discussed.One day, in a conversation with a RAM Master, Paulo asked why the language of Alchemy was so complicated and vague. The answer he received was burned into his spirit: because the language of Alchemy is a language addressed to the heart and not to the mind. He later understood that many people who had never even heard of Alchemy managed to discover the Philosophers Stone in their lives.That was the basis of The Alchemist, which contains what the author learned from the symbology, and which also aims to be a tribute to those who managed to attain the Universal Language: Hemingway, Blake, Borges, and Malba Tahan, among others.ABOUT PAULO COELHO: AUTHOR OF THE ORIGINAL BOOKPaulo Coelho de Souza is a Brazilian novelist, playwright, and lyricist born in 1947.
