In 'The Fifth Mountain' Paulo Coelho takes us back to the 9th century, to the turbulent Middle East, where the prophet Elijah is struggling to keep his faith alive amidst a world of constant war, tyrannical royalty and pagan worship. Evoking all the drama and intrigue of the colourful, chaotic world of the Old Testament, Paulo Coehlo turns the trials of Elijah into an intensly moving and inspiring story – one that powerfully brings out the universal themes of how faith and love can ultimately triumph over suffering. “His books have had a life-enhancing effect on millions of people.” THE TIMES

There are no heroes in Igna cio de Loyola Branda o's world, only
victims: not only of violence, but of deceit, desire, and fear. In
The Good-Bye Angel, Branda o returns to his great subject: the
tyranny of the community versus the individual, the city versus its
inhabitants. Large enough to develop its own mythology, yet small
enough to be provincial and petty, the city of Arealva (standing in
for Brazil, and the world at large) is itself a character in Branda
o's latest novel, toying with and finally consuming its citizens
with the innocent cruelty of a cat with its prey--it's nothing
personal, but it needs the meat. A cross between a film noir and a
Greek tragedy, with more than its share of sex and drugs (though no
rock 'n' roll), The Good-Bye Angel begins with a murder and ends in
a panorama of ambition, obsession, libido, hypocrisy, and
loneliness.

Jose de Alencar's prose-poem Iracema, first published in 1865, is a
classic of Brazilian literature--perhaps the most widely-known
piece of fiction within Brazil, and the most widely-read of
Alencar;s many works. Set in the sixteenth century, it is an
extremely romantic portrayal of a doomed live between a Portuguese
soldier and an Indian maiden. Iracema reflects the gingerly way
that mid-nineteenth century Brazil dealt with race mixture and
multicultural experience. Precisely because of its
nineteenth-century romanticism, Iracema strongly contributed to a
Brazilian sense of nationhood--contemporary Brazilian writers and
literary critics still cite it as a foundation for their own work.
