The Fifth Mountain is Paulo Coelho's inspirational account of the biblical prophet Elijah, written with the same exquisite style and visionary clarity that made The Alchemist a global hit. The Phoenician princess Jezebel, who lived in the ninth century B.C., orders the killing of all prophets who do not go to Zarephath for protection. There, they suddenly fall in love with a young widow. But Elijah's newfound ecstasy is to be short-lived, as he gets sucked into a maelstrom of circumstances that endangers his life, wiping out all of his aspirations and dreams forever. In a really groundbreaking work of literature, Coelho portrays a subtly poignant story of a man touched by God's hand who must overcome his setbacks via an overwhelming journey of faith.
