Paulo Coelho<\/p>\n
Written with the same masterful prose and clarity of vision that made\u00a0The Alchemist<\/em>\u00a0an international phenomenon,\u00a0The Fifth Mountain<\/em>\u00a0is Paulo Coelho’s inspiring story of the Biblical prophet Elijah. In the ninth century B.C., the Phoenician princess Jezebel orders the execution of all the prophets who refuse to seek safety in the land of Zarephath, where the unexpectedly finds true love with a young widow. But this newfound rapture is to be cut short, and Elijah sees all of his hopes and dreams irrevocably erased as he is swept into a whirlwind of events that threatens his very existence. In what is truly a literary milestone, Coelho gives a quietly moving account of a man touched by the hand of God who must triumph over his frustrations in a soul-shattering trail of faith.<\/p>\n\n
