About the Book



In a masterpiece of spiritual fiction, the author of "The Alchemist" gives a moving account of the 23-year-old biblical prophet, Elijah, who must triumph over his frustrations in a soul-shattering trial of faith.



Book Synopsis



"Más ambiciosa que El Alquimista. Una historia que nos hace reflexionar". TIME magazine

En La quinta montaña, Paulo Coelho nos regresa al siglo IX, al turbulento Medio Oriente, donde el profeta Elías enfrenta dificultades para conservar su fe viva en un mundo en constante agitación, con realezas tiránicas y dioses paganos.

La historia de Elías es una lección de persistencia, una existencia en la esperanza y un recorrido que nunca olvidarás. Inspirada en circunstancias que han alterado para siempre la vida del propio Coelho, La quinta montaña es un testamento de lo cierto que es que las tragedias de la vida no deben considerarse un castigo, sino un reto para el espíritu.

Apasionante en su narrativa y elegante en su prosa, La quinta montaña enseña e inspira como ninguna otra novela. Ésta es una historia atemporal para cualquier época, un relato del pasado que resuena poderosamente en nuestros días.

"More ambitious than The Alchemist. A thought-provoking tale." - TIME magazine

In The Fifth Mountain, 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.

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, The Fifth Mountain 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, The Fifth Mountain teaches and inspires like no other novel. This is a timeless story for the ages, a tale of the past that resonates powerfully today.




From the Back Cover



Inspirado en un breve pasaje de la Biblia ( I Reyes 18, 8-24 ), La Qunita Montaña cuneta la historia de un hombre, el profeta Elías, que recibe de Dios la orden de abandonar Israel. En un mundo regido por supersticiones, conflictos religiosos y tradiciones profundamente arraigadas, el joven profeta deberá enfrentarse a una avalancha de acontecimientos que le conduciran a una definitivo cara a cara con Dios. La historia del profeta Elías se convierte así en una valiosa leccion de esperanza para el hombre contemporaneo. ¿Hasta qué punto podemos determinar nuestro destino? Ésta es la pregunta que lanza al aire La Quinta Montaña para que cada uno de nosotros encuentre su propia respuesta. Reafirmando una vez má su talento literario, Paulo Coelho, el escritor brasileño mas vendido de nuestros dias, vuelve a sorprendernos con una novela tan fascinante como inolvidable.
