ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Paulo Coelho's "Veronika Decides to Die" tells the story of Veronika, a young woman in Slovenia who attempts suicide but unexpectedly survives. She awakens in Villete, a mental asylum, where she is informed that her heart was damaged by the overdose and she has only a short time to live. Within the walls of the institution, Veronika encounters various individuals deemed "mad" by society, each grappling with their own unique realities. As she confronts her impending death and observes the other patients, Veronika begins to question her previous desires and explores the boundaries between sanity and insanity. The novel delves into themes of societal norms, the fear of being different, and the rediscovered appreciation for life in the face of mortality.
