Veronika je odlucila da umre paulo coelho pdf

The best way to describe this book is: it makes no sense whatsoever. Of course, you may say: "Well, Xandra, Paulo Coelho is a profound man, a philosopher. Not everyone gets him. I can't possibly argue with that.

Veronika is a young Slovenian woman who decides to kill herself because her youth is almost gone and the world is a fucked up place. Yes, she is Slovenian. What do you mean why? I don't know why! I guess it's more exotic this way. Shut up! Ugh, I'm talking to myself The best way to describe this book is: it makes no sense whatsoever. Ugh, I'm talking to myself again.

Paulo Coelho is driving me nuts! So, yeah, she overdoses on sleeping pills, but, unfortunately for us all , she doesn't end up six feet underground, but in a mental institution where she is told she only has one week to live. I actually laughed out loud at that. Who wouldn't? You then follow her interactions with a bunch of uninteresting characters, a schizophrenic guy named Eduard being one of them.

Actually, no. I'm not fair. Eduard is not a totally uninteresting guy. He's a little kinky and funny and creepy because he likes watching Veronika masturbate while she plays the piano. Didn't see that coming. I mean, Eduard never talks, he's basically a recluse, but after this scene these two weirdos inexplicably fall in love. And this isn't even the best part. The best part is the ending.

Veronika isn't sick, it was all a freakish experiment you know, in the name of science and of course it worked because now Veronika doesn't want to die anymore and she's gonna live happily ever after with her rich creepy boyfriend Eduard. I'm waiting for "Veronika Decides to Die - a graphic novel". View all 19 comments.

For people who are concerned only superficially with the subject complex, the book is perhaps quite suitable. I found it very terrible and failed, especially in face of the fact that the approach could have a lot of potential, but this novel was not for me. View all 6 comments.

One word: liberating! Divided into 27 unnamed chapters, this book talks about Veronica, someone who has got everything in her life that noth8ng matters to her anymore. She thinks she has got everything what a human needs to be happy and gets tired of a monotonous life of having everything. Somehow One word: liberating! Somehow she gets saved and ends up in a hospital ward to recover after having spent 5 days in the ICU.

The story begins after this. She experiments things what others would hesitate to do so; she lives for herself; puts herself first; learning about herself in the process. She is not afraid of her past, or her future. She just experiences the present moment.

In the end, all she does is to live at the moment; loves someone without the fear of being alone. Just read it! Apr 19, Liz rated it did not like it Shelves: fiction. This was really the worst book I've ever read. I got about 60 pages away from the end before I realized that I didn't care about any of the characters and just wanted Veronika to die and get it over with.

I think the worst part for me is that the author chose to write the second chapter about himself. Generally speaking, I think it's admirable that he wanted to protect This was really the worst book I've ever read. Generally speaking, I think it's admirable that he wanted to protect his parents by not writing about his own institutionalization, but making himself a character in the novel and explaining his reasons for writing the book rather defeated the purpose.

It also took me right out of the novel and made it impossible for me to get back into it. View all 5 comments. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed and feel like I might die today. We have replaced nearly all of our emotions with fear. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped, because you don't understand the language they speak there.

We've all felt that. And all of us, one way or another, are insane. However, society always imposes on us a collective ways of behaving, and people never stop to wonder why they should behave like that.

Have you ever met anyone is your entire life who asked why the hands of a clock should go in one particular direction and not the other? We looked for the easiest way out: a separate reality. I thought she must be drunk, and I went to help her, but she refused my offer to lend her my jacket. Perhaps in her world it was summer and her body was warmed by the desire of the person waiting for her.

Who knows; perhaps she was the woman who had been seen half-naked walking the streets of Ljubljana? Whoever drank that water would go mad. The king was worried and tried to control the population by issuing a series of edicts governing security and public health. They marched on the castle and called for his abdication. Then we will be the same as them. Their subjects repented at once; now that the king was displaying such wisdom, why not allow him to continue ruling the country?

And the king was able to govern until the end of his days. While I hope that the chemical gets rid of my chronic depression, I want to continue being crazy, living my life the way I dream it, and not the way other people want it to be. Do you know what exists out there, beyond the walls of Villete?

However, as typically befalls me when I read a book by Paolo Coelho, I seem to recall a moment about four-fifths of the way to the end when I had an epiphanic moment - when I realised that although I had loathed the book from the start until that exact sentence, I suddenly understood it and could comprehend and possibly even accept though grudgingly that other people could like it and that it could possibly qualify as a Good Book.

However, in a similarly typical manner, I reached the end of the book and could not for the life of me remember anything about that epiphanic moment apart from the fact that it occurred. As such, it rates one star because it is painfully bad. Furthermore, I have yet to see or hear anything that even begins to make it clear to me why so many otherwise-sane people seem to love it so much. I'm bored and procrastinating so want to see if anyone else can give me an answer.

After reading the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, I decided that it was time to read another of his works. This book was about Veronika and how she had decided to die, and attempted suicide. She awakens from her attempt to realize that the attempt was not successful, but that she had cause damage to her heart with the medication that she had tried to overdose on and that she would die within days.

Veronika uses her remaining time to reflect and through her own self-discovery she realizes that she shou After reading the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, I decided that it was time to read another of his works. Veronika uses her remaining time to reflect and through her own self-discovery she realizes that she should have been more open to feelings, and more importantly life itself. As with the Alchemist, I read it with a pencil in hand. Below are several of the most poignant parts that I had underlined.

She finished her studies, went to university, got a good degree, but ended up working as a librarian. Am I making good use of it? You're someone who is different, but that wants to be the same as everyone else.

And that in my view is a serious illness. You're someone who is different, but that wants to be the same an everyone else. View 2 comments. At 24, Veronika decides she has experienced everything she has to experience with her life and the only thing now left for her to do is die and so she decides to take her own life by overdosing on sleeping pills. However, her attempted suicide fails and she ends up waking, after a week in coma, in Villette a local hospital and institution for mental patients where Dr.

Igor tells her that her suicide attempt has left her with a very weak heart and she has only a few days left to live so she shoul At 24, Veronika decides she has experienced everything she has to experience with her life and the only thing now left for her to do is die and so she decides to take her own life by overdosing on sleeping pills. Igor tells her that her suicide attempt has left her with a very weak heart and she has only a few days left to live so she should rejoice and just wait for her death as it was what she had wanted in the first place.

But while waiting for her death, Veronika meets the other 'mental' patients and gets to know their stories and during this time she begins to question her beliefs and ideas about life and what 'living each moment of our life fully' actually means According to Paulo Coehlo, 'mad people' are not really mad after all I haven't read much of Paulo Coehlo's books after the Alchemist this is the second book mainly because philosophy is not something I am a huge fan of but this book is quite nice Jun 01, Vishnu Chevli rated it really liked it Shelves: dnf.

I have picked up this book from this year's book fair. My eyes went on this book and I knew I had to buy this book. I have read Paulo Coelho's work before and I have loved it so I was eager to know what this book contains. Veronika is a beautiful, attractive girl, has a basic job and a comfortable living.

She finds no excitement in her life and so she finally decides to end it but her attempt was foul. And she ends up in a mental hospital where she finds out that she has limited days to live. But I have picked up this book from this year's book fair. But the things that happen in that mental hospital changes her life and she ends up wanting to live again.

If you want to find out what happened in that hospital you have to read the book. I loved the character of Veronika and I have also found similarities between her and myself. Her character is written beautifully along with the characters of Zedka who was in the hospital for her depression, Mari who was there for her anxiety attacks but her illness has been long cured but she still choose to be in the mental hospital, and finally Eduard the schizophrenic and also Veronika's lover.

The storyline for these characters is spellbound. Although this book does start negatively and you may feel depressed reading the first few pages but I want to tell you that hold on it does get better in the end. Also if you are someone who likes to read peculiar love stories than this book might be it but by saying this that if you think that this book is some romance novel than no but it does feature peculiar romance towards the end.

I don't think this book is for everyone, you'll either love it or hate it, in my opinion, I loved this book and I might even read it again in the future. Some of my favorite lines from the book are below. I want to continue being mad, living my life the way I dream it, and not the way other people want it to be. The "mad" always believe in first impressions Although she had always felt loved and protected, there had been one missing element that would have transformed that love into a blessing, she should have allowed herself to be a little madder.

Mar 06, EmBibliophile rated it it was amazing Shelves: 5-stars. It just blows your mind. I also liked How it takes place in a mental institution. The happier people can be, the unhappier they are. Veronica is a 24 years old lady who is graced with youth, beauty, has a loving family, plenty of boyfriends, and a good job. So why would a girl like her, who has everything, decides to end her life? After taking a handful of sleeping pills, veronica was surprised to wake up In a mental hospital.

Where she was informed that the pills had severely weaken her heart and she has only got about a week to live before her heart stops. She starts to actually feel a lot of things. Her presence in the hospital had a huge impact on the other patients. Watching a girl like her slowly dying in front of them affected most of them. Some of the hospital patients also had a kind of impact on Veronica where some helped her understand herself and life more. Personally, I think that the psychiatrist, Dr Igor, is the craziest person in this book!

Be like the fountain that overflows, not like the cistern that merely contains. This was a such a great spiritual philosophical book that makes you think and feel. I loved the madness in this book and how they talked about it. Even Paulo Cohelo himself was thought to be mad just because he chose to be a writer. Anyone who lives in their own world is mad. I had heard so many things about Paul Coelho that I had to find out for myself what he was like.

The reviewers all seemed to hate him, but a couple of our au pairs said he was great. But I also thought it would be wise to quit while I was ahead. Apr 13, James rated it it was ok. Coelho's novel attempts some kind of analysis of what it is to be mentally ill and how society treats 'the mad' - but again it's a flawed discussion and ultimately very superficial. There are the easy and undeniably true aphorisms here about the 'fragility of existence' and 'an awareness of death encouraging us to live more intensly' but to what end?

After an intriguing and promising start to the novel, unfortunately 'Veronica' descends into cliche and ultimately almost incoherent nonsense. Dissapointing to say the least and very much a missed opportunity.

Giving this book 3 stars simply because I like Eduard. And even though I gave three stars to all three of them,I keep going back to Coehlo. I love his characters,I guess that's what I like the most about his books. And his endings are the best. Nov 01, Tony Le rated it it was amazing.

This book is not for every one to read. Only misfortunate people who had or have a distressing and excruciating experience with depressions and panic attacks would really understand the words of Paulo Coelho in Veronika Decides to Die. It's as if you were in a foreign country, able to see and understand everything that's going on around you, but incapable of explaining what you need to know Yay : It is nicely written in third-person perspective in past tenses.

There is a shift in perspective when the author explains a certain variable in psychology. I love how he explains it. He brings my curiosity to the next level. Nay : There i "Madness is the inability to communicate your ideas. Nay : There is too much inappropriate labeling on a patient with schizophrenia. This patient is repeatedly called by his name with the term "schizophrenic. This is an insult, especially when you talk to the person face to face.

You do not have the right to label anyone with mental health problems no matter how mild or serious it is. The diagnosis does not define who you are. Your resilience defines you instead.
