The book Eleven Minutes is written by the best selling author Paulo Coelho in Portuguese language and was translated by Margaret Jull Costa in the year 2003. The most popular novel of the Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho (1947 ), The Alchemist combines philosophical ideas and words of wisdom about ambition, perseverance, and success.
The same has been brought about in this novel.
