"Anyone who tries to possess a flower will have to watch its beauty fading. But if you simply look at a flower in a field, you will keep it forever."

Onze Minutos will give you a wide understanding of ownership and possession. Be it the dress you long to have, the land that you wanna buy, the imported chocolates you wish to eat, those dreams that you wanna achieved, and even the person you loved.

Personal Note : If you happen to have read a back-to-back Coelho novels (I certainly did), one would noticed that they speak the same things. And he would, obviously repeat such over and over again surprisingly, in different languages. I meant, the languages of Alchemists, Black Magics, Sacred Prostitution, Historical Insanity and all.

Comecei este livro pelo facto de ser um livro mais pequeno. Não foi o primeiro que li de Paulo Coelho nem sabia para o que ia.
Eis que começo a ler que é sobre uma criança, que depois cresce e se torna prostituta.
Toda uma envolvente em torno da vida dela. Da vida das prostitutas daquele tempo. Faz nos pensar várias vezes ao longo do livro, no nosso corpo e na nossa alma. No amor e na posse. Contudo gostei do final que teve!

A book trying to be something it’s not, obviously written by a man.

I read this right after I read the alchemist and I was expecting more of a revelation from this one but alas, it is a good read but no awesome gems of self actualization. Paulo Coelho is an great author with more than a way with words, I would recommend that you give all his books a read.

Bottom line: good train read.
