La Quinta Montana: La Quinta Montana | Paulo Coelho
10 posts | 52 read | 9 to read
Immerse yourself in an electrifying reading experience like no other -- international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's "The Fifth Mountain." A stunning novel in the tradition of the highly acclaimed "The Alchemist, " this is Coelho's daring retelling of the prophet Elijah. During the chaos of the ninth century B.C., Jezebel, wife to Israel's ruler, orders the execution of all prophets who refuse to worship the pagan god Baal. The young prophet Elijah, commanded by an angel of God to flee Israel, seeks safety in the land of Zarephath, where he unexpectedly finds true love with a young widow. But this new-found rapture is to be cut short, and Elijah sees all of his hopes and dreams irrevocably erased. What follows is sure to be viewed as Coelho's literary milestone: the 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.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. Gorgeous in its narrative and unforgettable in its prose, "The Fifth Mountain" teaches without being sanctimonious. This is a timeless story for the ages, a tale of the past that resonates powerfully for today's readers.

Not up to the mark. Good narration though.

Reading in a slow pace🐌

My #doublespin choice. It‘s there on my shelf for years. Read couple of pages before but I couldn‘t read any further. M glad I included it in my #bookspinbingo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Always fun to see a book from the waybacklist getting read! 4y
Suet624 It‘s amazing how many shelved books are being read because @TheAromaofBooks takes the time to pick some numbers and report them back to us. 💕💕💕😀😀. So glad you could get to this one. 4y

Book #5. Didn‘t love this book, but easy enough to read. My favourite quote “A child can always teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”

WARNING: Here comes a bad review.

First , let me say, I hate writing bad reviews. I think it takes courage to write a book and almost none at all to write an anonymous post. For me to take the time to write a bad review, a book has to be more than disappointing. It has to be upsetting.

👇

LikelyLibrarian I wanted to like this book. I read and loved The Alchemist, and some of the things I loved about that book can be found here - the beautiful language, the nuggets of wisdom, the spiritual themes. But everything that was good about that book became something wholly different in this one. 👇 6y
LikelyLibrarian The beautiful language and nuggets of wisdom became a plotless piece of proselytization (say that five times fast). The spiritual themes became a mess of religious intolerance. In the end, a book designed to make us more hopeful left me feeling discomforted and, often, angry. 6y
Kmmsellers Great review! And I love the alliteration. 6y

Visited Sundog Books a few days ago. It‘s an independent, family owned bookstore in Seaside, Florida. All the women in the family bought a book recommended by one of the other of us. I like that we all chose books by international authors.

My sister-in-law recommended The Fifth Mountain by Paula Coelho. Starting it today!

SledgeReader @LikelyLibrarian Great family outing! Might have to borrow your method. 😉 6y
