El éxito, un veneno irresistible. Ambientada en el atractivo entorno del festival de Cannes, El vencedor está solo va mucho más allá del lujo y el glamour, y nos aboca a una profunda reflexión acerca de la fuerza de los propios sueños y de cuál es la escala de valores con la que nos medimos.

Durante 24 horas seguiremos los pasos de Igor, empresario ruso magnate de las comunicaciones, destrozado por una dolorosa ruptura sentimental, y conoceremos su delirante plan para atraer la atención de su ex mujer. En su camino se cruzarán Gabriela, una joven y ambiciosa actriz; Jasmine, modelo de Ruanda exiliada en Europa; Javits, un productor influyente y corrupto; y Hamid, estilista que empezó de cero y está hoy en la cima de su gloria.

La aparición de Igor cambiará para siempre las vidas de todos ellos. Un intenso, sincero y bien documentado viaje hacia nuestra constante fascinación por la fama, el éxito y el dinero, que se eleva hasta convertirse en un impactante reflejo del lado más superficial, intrascendente y depredador del mundo en el que vivimos.

Paulo Coelho, born in Rio de Janeiro in 1947, is one of the bestselling and most influential authors in the world.

Paulo Coelho has been a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002, and in 2007, he was appointed United Nations Messenger of Peace. He is also the most followed author on social media.

From AudioFile:
Paul Coelho has been to the Cannes Film Festival--and apparently didn't like it. Here he creates a psychopathic Russian zillionaire bent on killing random people during the festival in order to get his ex-wife back. How serial murder is to accomplish this is murky, and Coelho is too busy disdainfully telling (not showing) what film and fashion worlds are like, according to him, to make his (too) many characters, jaded celebrities, and hopeful wannabes real. So what suspense one feels as to who will live or die is largely created by Paul Boehmer's sympathetic narration. Boehmer occasionally loses focus in the middle of a sentence, but otherwise earnestly labors to create some recognizable people in this uncomfortable welter of nihilism and celebrity dirt.
