  • The Winner Stands Alone
    The Winner Stands Alone Paulo Coelho Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen. For N.D.P., who came down to Earth in order to show us the path of the Good Fight And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. luke 12 : 22–27 Whoever you are holding me now in hand, Without one thing all will be useless, I give you fair warning before you attempt me further, I am not what you supposed, but far different. Who is he that would become my follower? Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections? The way is suspicious, the result uncertain, perhaps destructive, You would have to give up all else, I alone would expect to be your sole and exclusive standard, Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting, The whole past theory of your life and all conformity to the lives around you would have to be abandon’ d, Therefore release me now before troubling yourself any further, let go your hand from my shoulders, Put me down and depart on your way.

But after meeting Mikhail, the translator guy, with whom Esther was supposed to have eloped with, he finds out that Esther has left him because the narrator after becoming a successful novelist and a famous celebrity started to look for happiness in other things thereby ignoring her happiness and emotions.

Would his novels, therefore, stand as materialization of Goethe’s humanist cosmopolitan vision upon the coinage of the term world literature? Many cultural scholars would argue to the contrary.
