TO DIE

PAULO COELHO

AUTHOR OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

THE ALCHEMIST

正值芳華的薇若妮卡有著姣好容貌和令人豔羨的工作，但日復一日、波瀾不興的生活卻宛如槁木死灰。1997年某個清晨，她吞下大量安眠藥以求解脫而未得，在一家療養院悠悠轉醒後，由於心臟已嚴重受損，竟發現自己只剩一星期的生命，遂開始思考瘋狂與正常的分際、死之意義與生之價值。更在同院的病友——曾受恐懼之苦而自殺的律師瑪莉、違抗父命投入藝術的大使之子案德華等人身上，第一次發現了自己對生命的熱情與好奇……

Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything -- youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does -- at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live.

This poignant international bestseller by the author of The Alchemist takes readers on a quest to find meaning in a culture overshadowed by angst, soulless routine, and pervasive conformity. Based on events in Coelho's own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.
