The Winner Stands Alone

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 drammaker'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?

“[Coelho’s] special talent seems to be his ability to speak to everyone at once. The kind of spirituality he espouses is to all comers. . . . His readers often say that they see their own lives in his own books.” — The New Yorker
