Veronika
Decides to Die (Portuguese: Veronika Decide Morrer) is a novel by Paulo Coelho.
It tells the story of 24-year-old Slovenian Veronika, who appears to have
everything in life going for her, but who decides to kill herself. This book is
partly based on Coelho's experience in various mental institutions (see the
biography Confessions of A Pilgrim by Juan Arias). It is based around the
subject of madness. The gist of the message is that "collective madness is
called sanity".
Veronika
Decides to Die has been adapted for theatre a number of times, and was also
used in other artistic references.
