Book Review: Eleven Minutes -- By Paul Cohelo
Eleven MinutesBy Paulo Coelho
Although I read this book in second year of my acedmic career but after suggesting it to one of my friend, i feel that I have to re-read it again, it's one of my favorite book in adult genera. Well I personally feel uncomfortable to talk on this senstive subject of Sex as it is taboo in eastern world, but all thou it is literature and I pay respect to it..so without wasting time let's dig into plot and my observations.
Maria, a delightful Brazilian young lady went to Europe to fill in as an intriguing artist, yet finished being a whore. A costly one, "working" in a lavish bar in Geneva. Maria will probably procure enough cash to purchase a ranch in Brazil for her and her folks and leave Swizerland in a year. "Eleven minutes" is her story. The journey of her sexual life tell us about her harsh experiences. She was hesitant in early days but as the passing she feels comfortable with her profession and take her duty more specific to her personal life. For answering her customers she use to read different books and entertain them with her philosophical approach related to her harsh experience.
Here and there my impression from "Eleven minutes" is like "The Alchemist". The book is composed quite well, it's coherent and streams rapidly. It discusses certain life methods of reasoning, with the principle topic being the quest of the fundamental character for the significance of life. Not astounding that Coelho's books are such hits. They read and secure you like a drama, and leave you with a specific engraving of significance.
Significance is decent, yet as a rule it's not very profound, and "Eleven minutes" is one of these cases. Pretty much every writer has a comment about "the importance of life", and when you read a great deal, unequivocal referencing of this stacked point causes you to anticipate certain quality and profundity from the book. I have no issue with "typical" books, however books which straightforwardly state and make it understood from the earliest starting point that their primary concern is "to locate the significance of life" makes me need to see something new, something that I haven't read previously. All things considered, what great is it composing a book on the subject when every one of your thoughts were recently communicated by different writers ?
However, I would prefer not to pass judgment on this book excessively unforgiving. With everything taken into account, it's entirely acceptable, and I appreciated understanding it. The best thing about it is the points it manages. It's likely the principal book I read where the primary character is a whore, and I likewise don't remember books where exceptionally close sexual subtleties are expressed so unequivocally. (No big surprise it caused a couple of embarrassments in some traditionalist countries...) For example, this is unquestionably the main written word wherein I read about sado-masochism (I wasn't persuaded, however. Book writers normally leave such issues for the porno magazines.
I truly enjoyed the primary character. Maria is clearly a keen person. She generally endeavors to learn, to get things. She attempts to improve her life through learning, and this is a quality I respect. The interest in addition to the will and control to satisfy it by perusing, talking and procuring information is an incredible element to have. I surmise she could've suceeded in an increasingly educated calling.
