Book Description
Una novela cautivante y audaz del autor de El Alquimista, bestseller con un millón de ejemplares vendidos. En este nuevo relato, el novelista explora con gran sensibilidad la naturaleza sagrada del sexo y del amor y nos invita a enfrentar a nuestros propio prejuicios y demonios.
Once Minutos relata la historia de María, una joven proveniente de una villa brasileña, cuyos primeros roces inocentes con el amor la dejan con el corazón destrozado. A su tierna edad, se convence de que jamás hallará el amor verdadero; al contrario, considera que "El amor es algo horrible que produce sufrimiento." Un encuentro casual en Río la lleva a Ginebra, donde sueña con conseguir fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, termina trabajando de prostitua.
En Ginebra, la opinión desesperanzada que María tieme del amor, se pone a prueba al conocer a un apuesto joven pintor. En esta odisea de descubrimiento personal, María debe elegir entre recorrer el camino de la oscuridad, el del sexo por el sexo mismo o arriesgarlo todo para descubrir su propia "luz interior" y las posibilidad del sexo sagrado, es decir, del sexo en el contexto del amor.

There was nothing new or innovative about it, just another book about sex. At the end, although there was really no particular reason that she needed to return to Brazil, I was hoping she would, just so the ending wouldn't be so predictable. It was a trite movie-type ending, where the guy finds her at the airport and convinces her to stay. . . Overall, not up to Coelho standards.
