این کتاب را باید تجسم کرد :
زن که به این نبی در حال فرار از دیار خویش پناه داده بود ، با نگرانی از او سوال کرد ؟ " آیا خداوند تودر کلمه و کلام محو خواهد شد ؟" ایلیای نبی پاسخ گفت : " در کلمه و کلام استمرار می یابد ولی هر کس در مقابل هر آنچه می نویسد مسئول نوشته خود خواهد بود ....more

Depuis que l’Israëlite était entrés dans sa vie, tout avait changé. Même la pauvreté était plus facile à supporter - parce que cet étranger avait éveillé en elle un sentiment qu’elle n’avait jamais connu : l’amour. Lorsque son fils était tombé malade, elle avait lutté contre tous ses voisins pour qu’il restât chez elle.

recommends it for:
only the most discerning readers
This popular author has very poor theology and it comes out in his book. I find it offensive when he makes up stories about historical figures without any supporting evidence and gives these historical figures characteristics and traits that are clearly negative. Slander would be the charges against him if he wrote about anyone alive today and said such made up things. I'm sure the author thinks he is just making the book interesting, or assisting him in his point. Still, if I wanted to make...more

از كتابهاي پخته و جذابي بود كه از آقاي كوئيلو چاپ شد و به شخصه اين كتاب را دوست دارم
متاسفانه در بارهي آثار پائولوكوييلو حاشيههاي زيادي وجود دارد به قدري كه حتا خود كتابها را هم زير سئوال ميبرد. آنچه كه در طول اين سالها ديدم بيشتر بغض و كينه بود تا صحبتي به جا و با حكمت...more

Alright, so I said that Witch of Portobello was not the best book in the world in my review, and yet, I found that I was still thinking about it days later. So, perhaps it was better than I thought...
I picked up The Fifth Mountain awhile after. I am glad that I read Witch first because I may have written the author off as a Judeo-Christian propagandist otherwise. I now understand that the religion of these heros does not matter. Religion is the tool to test the conviction of these stra...more

Another masterpiece from Paulo Coelho. I was reminded of nikos Kazansakis' Last Tempation through much of this, from the point of view of a man with a destiny unable to come to terms with it, constantly tortured by his self doubt until, eventually, through his trials and circumstances, coming to a deep personal understanding of his true destiny. More difficult to read than the Alchemist but not any less profound in the lessons it has wrapped in the text. I always come away from the authors books...more

This is an historical novel based on the biblical character of Elijah. It is meant to be very profound and spiritual but I felt like it missed something. The character's are shallow and there isn't much depth to the story. Like a lot of Paulo Coelho's books, there is a lot of advice about how to live life and how to find / interact with God. If you like Paulo Coelho's philosophy in general you may like the book. I find some of his books can be preachy, elitist and self-righteous and this i...more

This allegory tells the story of the Biblical Elijah -- the prophet and sage who crossed Jezebel but eventually restored Israel to greatness.
After reading an interview with Coelho in last April's THE NEW YORKER, I can't say as I'm a huge fan of his. However, there are elements of this book, and The Alchemist that offer soothing promises of hope, forgiveness, and direction that give comfort. For that, I am glad that his books are international best-sellers.

Joy Mendozarecommends it for: all kinds of people
The story is based on the story of Elijah from the Judeo-Christian Bible (1 Kings chapters 17-19). The focus is on Elijah's time in Zarephath (in this book named Akbar). Much has been added to the simple Bible story by Coelho, including Elijah witnessing the sacking of Akbar by the Assyrians, Elijah's journey up the Fifth Mountain itself (said to be the dwelling place of Baal), and Elijah's falling in love with the widow to whom God sent him.

Seorang teman ngasih buku ini. Katanya saya harus baca nih buku (nggak jelas maksudnya apa). Jujur, dari beberapa buku Paulo, sejauh ini baru ada 1 yang membuat saya terkesan yaitu Sang Alkemis. Tapi setelah beberapa hari membaca buku "The Fifth Mountain", saya seperti diajak mengenal dan mencoba menerka rencana Tuhan dari setiap kejadian demi kejadian.

membaca buku ini seperti membaca sejarah dalam bingka masa sekarang, coelho lagi-lagi membuktikan tulisannya sebagai salah satu yang terbaik...
membawa cerita dari bibel, coelho lalu menceritakan dengan sangat ringan dan terbuka...siapa pun yang membaca, entah itu dari kalangan iman yang mana pun, pasti akan terenyuh...
bagaimana sebuah keyakinan bisa sebegitu menakjubkannya, walaupun penuh rintangan serta godaan.

The first Paulo Coelho book I ever read was "The Alchemist," and I was immediately obsessed with it. It remains, to this day, one of my all-time favorite books. When I lived in Brazil, I bought 8 Paulo Coelho books in Portuguese, their original language. I enjoyed a couple of them, listed on this site, and was disappointed by the rest. I got "The Fifth Mountain" in English, and was disappointed by it as well. I just couldn't get into it. While I respect Coelho's talent,...more

recommends it for:
anyone who's a little lost and needs to learn that it's ok and that it will pass
Although a biblical tale, I found the story to be universal in its telling of a person's painful path to finding his or her destiny. Elijah's was a trial of faith both with himself and with what I like to think of as the forces of the universe (err, he would say God) to find out what his life should move towards.
As a 24 year old trying to make the right life choices and realizing I don't have most of the answers to this crazy and continuous pop quiz called life, I completely related!

The point of this book, is how person tries to find his/her personal legend. It's a little bit different from The Alchemist that focused on how person tries to find his/her destiny. In the Fifth Mountain, person has been destined to be "someone." He/she has role to be fulfilled.
The story of this novel is actually taken from the Bible. About Elia (maybe Ilyas in Islam). Elia denied his destiny as messager...
(not finished yet, but I don't have any mood to continue..)

Buku ini bercerita tentang pergumulan Elia, salah satu nabi Israel "melawan" kehendak Tuhan. Terasa lebih riil dibandingkan versi Alkitabnya, bagaimana bahkan seorang nabi pun sering bimbang mengambil keputusan dan tetap punya rasa takut, meskipun dia orang pilihan Tuhan, yang pastinya terberkati.
Meski masih sedikit bingung, buku ini sedikit membantu memahami "why bad things happen to good people".
