Description

This compelling and inspiring book, now in a deluxe paperback edition, shows how one person can work wonders. In Mountains Beyond Mountains, Pulitzer Prize—winning creator Tracy Kidder tells the real story of a gifted man who loves the world and has got down to do all he can to cure it.

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of brand new medicine to people who need them most. Kidder’s magnificent account takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.” On the heart of this book is the example of a life in keeping with hope and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb “Beyond mountains there are mountains”–as you solve one problem, some other problem presents itself, and so you go on and check out to solve that one too.

Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with a force of gathering revelation,” says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr notes, “[Paul Farmer] wants to change the world. Without a doubt this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.”
