The Winner Stands Alone  by Paulo Coelho

Summary of The Winner Stands Alone 

Paulo Coelho once again returns to the themes that have inspired millions around the globe: the search for our true self, the fear and price of fame, and how wealth, excess, and superficiality can lead to the loss of relationships and spiritual values.
A meditation on personal power and innocent dreams that are manipulated or undone by success, THE WINNER STANDS ALONEis set in the worlds of fashion and film, taking place during the course of 24 hours during the Cannes Film Festival. Igor, a driven and mega-wealthy Russian entrepreneur, is looking for someone to sacrifice in the name of love, to send a message to his ex-wife, Ewa. Believing that his life with Ewa was divinely ordained, he had told her he would destroy whole worlds to get her back. The conflict between an individual evil force—embodied in a serial killer—and society emerges as the novel unfolds and values derailed. We meet players and poseurs, the “Superclass” of producers, actors, designers and supermodels, as well as the aspiring starlets, hopeful newcomers, has-been stars, and jaded hangers-on. Adroitly interweaving the characters’ connected stories, as Igor sets his traps, Coelho once again writes with the emotional depth, insight, and compassion that have earned him the admiration of readers worldwide.

Indiaplaza review

The Winner Stands Alone, is the new title from Paulo Coelho.

But this book is different.

This is probably the first thriller from the author of Alchemist. Usually, his books span 200 to 250 pages. But, The Winner Stands Alone, unlike his previous novels, is a fast-paced thriller, with over 350 pages of action, all in a span of 24 hours! A new concept dawns here of anger, rage, hatred, guns, ammunition and fear.

The story is set during the Cannes International Film Festival and is about a wealthy Russian businessman named Igor. His wife Ewa left him two years ago, but Igor has never really gotten over it yet even when Ewa has remarried to Hamid Hussein, a famous fashion designer. Igor has sworn to get his wife back and he wants to do it at any cost. He had killed a beggar in cold blood in the past in rage, the reason Ewa left him in the first place- as she became terrified of him.

Now in the midst of hundreds of people in the film festival, Igor wants to complete his task, regardless of others and will stop at nothing to get to Ewa.

The Winner Stands Alone is unique in that the author here, has shifted his style considerably, thereby making the new title, a satisfactory read.
