The Fifth Mountain
Paulo Coelho
HarperCollins
In the ninth century b.c., the Phoenician princess Jezebel orders the 
execution of all the prophets who refuse to worship the pagan god Baal. 
Commanded by an angel of God to flee Israel, Elijah seeks safety in the 
land of Zarephath, where he 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. Written with the 
same masterful prose and clarity of vision that made The Alchemist an 
international phenomenon, The Fifth Mountain is a quietly moving account
 of a man touched by the hand of God who must triumph over his 
frustrations in a soul-shattering trial of faith.
