The Fifth Mountain -- Paulo Coelho

<p><strong>"More ambitious than <em>The Alchemist</em>. A thought-provoking tale." - <em>TIME </em>magazine</strong></p><p>In <em>The Fifth Mountain</em>, Paulo Coelho takes us back to the ninth century, to the turbulent Middle East, where the prophet Elijah is struggling to keep his faith alive in a world of constant upheaval, tyrannical royalty, and pagan gods.</p><p>Elijah's story is a lesson in persistence, an exercise in hope, and a journey you will never forget. Inspired by a circumstance that forever altered Coelho's own life, <em>The Fifth Mountain</em> is a testament to the truth that tragedy in life should not be considered a punishment, but a challenge of the spirit. Gripping in its narrative and graceful in its prose, <em>The Fifth Mountain</em> teaches and inspires like no other novel. This is a timeless story for the ages, a tale of the past that resonates powerfully today.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Paulo Coelho<br><b>Publisher:</b> HarperOne<br><b>Published:</b> 02/10/2009<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.50lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780061729256
