Eleven Minutes



Just finished reading "Eleven Minutes", a book written by Paulo Coelho. He's one of my favorite authors. He was born in Brazil and has become one of the most widely read and loved author in the world. Especially renowned for "The Alchemist". He has sold more than 85 millions books worldwide and has been translated into 63 languages.

This book talked about sex. Can sex be sacred? An unflinching exploration of the length we go to in our search for love, sex, and spirituality.

Love only caused suffer. That's what Maria, a Brazilian girl who thought that she would never found her true love in her life. A guy who she met by chance in Rio De Janeiro promised her to become a famous actress in Switzerland, but it turned out to be big lie. In fact, she had to be a prostitute in order to survive. This kind of job really took her getting far from her true love.

One day, a young man who was an artist, Ralf Hart, entered Maria's life. Maria got the chance to choose between stayed in her dark life or left it all behind for the purpose of finding "the light in herself". Could Maria unite not only physically but also her mind or even her soul to a place where sex is considered as a sacred thing?

I love this book. According to Paulo Coelho, life is a journey. I always feel inspired by his books. Try to read his books and you will discover more about the world.
