The Winner Stands Alone

The Winner Stands Alone is the enthralling new novel by the incomparable Paulo Coelho. The story is set during the Cannes International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman. His wife Ewa left him two years ago and Igor has never really come to terms with their break up, especially as Ewa is now remarried to a famous fashion designer, Hamid Hussein. Igor is insanely jealous and when Ewa left him he told her that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise! Igor has followed Ewa and her new husband to Cannes and his plan is to cause as much violence and destruction as possible until Ewa realises how much he loves her and comes back to him. Ewa loved Igor but she was absolutely terrified of him. She knows that Igor has killed people in the past when he was a soldier, but she also knows a dark secret - that he once cold bloodedly murdered a beggar who was bothering them in a restaurant. Igor is clearly unhinged and he will stop at nothing to regain her love and so he goes on a ruthless killing spree until he tracks down Ewa! The star-studded film festival acts as a backdrop to Igor's maniacal murdering spree and we are ntroduced to various characters along the way, all of whom are desperately trying to get their big break in the shallow world of show business; Gabriela a young and naive actress who is being exploited by her agent and Jasmine a troubled young Rwandan refugee working as a model. The Winner Stands Alone is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and money obsessed culture.

Cannes film festivalinden bir gün. Ne olabilir ki hani en fazla? Neler neler olmuyor ki aslında... İnanılmaz göndermeler ve eleştirilerle, güzel bir aşk ve ayrılık hikayesi. Seri katilimsi özelliğiyle de dikkat çekiyor. Başlı başına orijinal bir kitap anlayacağınız. Mutlaka okunmalı mı? Belki hayır ama bence okunmayı hakediyor. Akıcı olduğu kesin.

Bu sefer farklı olacağım derken hayal kırıklığı yaratan kitap...

Kazanan Yalnızdır'da başarıya, üne, lükse düşkünlüğün iç sesimizi bastırmasını, kişiyi yalnızlastırmasını akıcı bir dille anlatmış Coelho.

veronika ölmek istiyor adlı kitabından sonra en başarılı kitabı bana göre bu.

Zaman zaman okumaya devam etmelimiyim diye düşünmedim değil.
Yine de bunca yazıda söylenmek istenen neydi ki... Kitabın adıyla çelişen bir sonuç mu? "Kazanan yalnız değildir."

Olağan Paulo anlatımının dışına çıkmakla kalmamış bildiğiniz Agatha Christie romanlarına benzemiş.Hani kötüler kaybederdi?İyiki sonunda İgor'u peygamber ilan etmedi.
Bu sefer suçlu yok suç yok gibi bir seyir izleyen roman bilindik üslup ile anlatılmış.
Tavsiyem;okuyun ancak asla üçlemenin peşine okumayın.

Kazanan Yalnızdır, tavsiye üzerine okuduğum bir Coelho kitabıydı. Bu sefer mistik bir öykü değil anlatılan fakat kitabın bütününe yayılan mesaj yine mevcut. İsim de bunun habercisi: Kazanan Yalnızdır.

Sonunu merak ettiğim ve akıcı olduğunu düşündüğüm için devam ettiğim ama bana bir şey kazandırdığını düşünmediğim kitap.
