More ambitious than The Alchemist. A thought-provoking tale. - TIME magazine
A sweeping and deeply personal novel about faith, loss, and the will to rebuild -- from Paulo Coelho, the internationally bestselling author of The Alchemist.
The Fifth Mountain takes us to ninth-century Israel, where the young prophet Elijah is fleeing for his life. Queen Jezebel has ordered the execution of every prophet who refuses to worship her pagan gods, and Elijah -- chosen by God to deliver a message the powerful do not want to hear -- has no choice but to run. Guided by an angel, he crosses the desert and takes refuge in the Phoenician city of Akbar, where he finds an unlikely home with a widow and her young son. As he settles into an uneasy peace and begins to rebuild, catastrophe strikes -- and Elijah is forced to confront the mountain that has shadowed his journey from the beginning.
Inspired by a moment of devastating loss in Coelho's own life, the novel asks the question at the heart of all human suffering: why do terrible things happen to those who are trying to do what is right? Elijah's answer -- hard-won and quietly transformative -- is the beating heart of this book.
A timeless story about the courage it takes to keep faith when everything you love has been taken from you, The Fifth Mountain is a liberating and ultimately uplifting read.
