Summary
Paulo Coelho: The winner is himself
People are never satisfied with anything. If they have little, they want much. If they have a lot, they want more. If they have even more, they want to be satisfied with a little, but are not able to make the effort in this sense. The winner is himself is an exciting and dynamic thriller in which Coelho skillfully interweaves elements of social satire, mocking our obsession with fame, glamor and wealth. In this contemporary vanity fair, whose plot lasts twenty-four hours in Cannes, during the International Film Festival, Russian millionaire Igor Malev, fashion designer and tycoon Hamid Hussein, American actress Gabriela, ambitious detective Savoy, who hopes to solve the case of his life, and Jasmin, a model on the threshold of a successful fashion career, meet. Who among them will be able to recognize their own, unadulterated dream among the ominous dreams that surround them, and who will be able to achieve it in the end? The tense story that follows is a mirror of the world we live in, where the race for wealth and success often prevents us from hearing what our hearts are whispering.
