بالرغم من قلة جودة الترجمة ، استمتعت كثيرا بمقاطع معينة من الرواية: تلك المقاطع التي كان يفكر فيها (إيليا) النبي في إيمانه وفي علاقته بربه وفي فهم العالم. رحلة (باولو كويليو) في محاولة فهم الإيمان ممتعة وعميقة. لذا ستحتاج إلى قلب وعقل واسعين لتخوضها معه.

Although I liked 'The Alchemist' & 'The Zahir' betterو, but it was indeed an interesting read.
It has something in common with the two books; which is the quest and the journey the main characters of the story has taken.
Powerful metaphoric insights throughout the book. And I must say it wass as inspiring as the rest of Coehlo's books.

I love the book. I found very interesting the story being base on Elias life. What I like the most from the book was the idea that a prophet like him fall in love with a woman, I would not have imagine putting that story together an man from God and falling in love; however, he did not get the chance to live that love at a full expression due to the woman he love died, so when this happens is when I found the book better because Elias’ path changed completely. Elias became angry at God, and he s

I love a book that makes me think about my own faith journey. Elijah and the angel of the Lord's discussion of "combat with the Lord and navigating the current of the unavoidable with dignity" really struck a cord with me. I'll have to bring that up for discussion at book club.

Maybe I'm a bit biased while writing my review. I don't like that Coehlo is so deeply influenced by religion, and it shows in his writing. If there's anything I'm trying to evade at all cost, would be religion.
I felt the book was very spiritual, and while it was good, warm, and whatnot, I couldn't stop thinking that every page turn was a new sermon. Coehlo's style of writing is very deep and thoughtful, and his word choices are beautiful. His style of writing is something I can prai More...

This is a writer I have been aware of for some time now. I have never gotten around to reading anything he has published, some of which have made it onto recommended reading lists and best seller lists. This being the current selection for the book club I attend, gave me the opportunity to experience this writer’s skill for myself. I can see now why his writing has achieved the acclaim it has received.

الجبلُ الخامِس وكما ذكرتي تحكي عن نبيٍّ لطالما أخفى نبوّته.. لكنّهُ يُجبر أن يُفصح عنها بـ رسالةٍ سماويّة كـ تحذيرٍ للملك ، ومن لحظتها تنصبُّ لعنة الأميرة على الأنبياء وتبدأ بــ مجزرةٍ ضدّهم...
يهرُب النّبي ( إيليا) وبمساعدة الإلهام ( النّور) يستطيع تدبير امرِهِ ... ويواجه الكثير من الصِّعاب ...مع الحياة الجديدة ، والمعتقدات مع الكاهِن والشّعب...

There are some biblical characters that I don't know much about, so it was very interesting to read about how things might have been for the prophet Elijah. History might record the great and wonderful things a man does, but behind that story are the current events, the environment, and that person's inner feelings. History often forgets to paint a memorable character in the context of their contemporaries, but Coelho imagines a precise moment in Elijah's life, complete with romance, inner strug

This is one of my favorites. It's biblical, but not boring. Coelho had added some twists so make it heavier and more inspirational. I was just in college when I read this, and somehow, it made me realize that it is normal to challenge God, especially when you feel that you are being left alone despite of your strong belief in Him. The ending would give you some thoughts to ponder on, and during the times of trouble, you would remember this novel. This book is not for religious people only. This

As with The Alchemist, and Coelho's other books I guess, though I've never read them, The Fifth Mountain is more about the message than the story. Honestly, I consider the storytelling to be a bit clunky, but that's really not the point. There are a few gems in this one and should be pretty meaningful for anyone struggling to find some meaning in the midst of pain or destruction of some sort. I was pretty bored throughout this story, but that doesn't mean I won't read anymore of Coelho's book

Selain karena cuplikan dari kisah yang cukup terkenal di Alkitab, Paulo juga berani untuk memadukannya dengan unsur fiksi imajinasinya. Seperti menceritakan sebuah kisah dongeng yang tidak lekang oleh jaman.
