About the Books. The Alchemist follows Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy, as he leaves his flock to chase a recurring dream of treasure, travelling from Spain to the markets of Tangiers and into the Egyptian desert, guided by omens and an alchemist who teaches him to follow his heart. Veronika Decides to Die follows a young woman who appears to have everything yet chooses to end her life, only to wake in hospital and learn her heart is damaged — the days that follow become an unexpected awakening to feeling, love and the will to live. Eleven Minutes traces Maria's journey from a small Brazilian town to Geneva, exploring desire, work and the search for a love that unites body and soul. Brida tells of a young Irish woman drawn to magic and wisdom, taught by a wise man of the forest and a woman who shows her how to "dance to the music of the world," as she seeks balance between destiny and self-discovery. The Winner Stands Alone unfolds over twenty-four hours at the Cannes Film Festival, following a wealthy businessman's obsessive attempt to win back his ex-wife — a sharp look at fame, obsession and the emptiness of status.
