<p><strong>&#8220;More ambitious than <em>The Alchemist</em>. A thought-provoking tale.&#8221; &#8211; <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&#8217;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&#8217;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>
