  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; A community devoured by greed, cowardice, and fear. A man persecuted by the ghosts of his painful past. A young woman searching for happiness. In one eventful week, each will face questions of life, death, and power, and each will choose a path. Will they choose good or evil? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; In the remote village of Viscos -- a village too small to be on any map, a place where time seems to stand still -- a stranger arrives, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Paulo Coelho's stunning novel explores the timeless struggle between good and evil, and brings to our everyday dilemmas fresh perspective: incentive to master the fear that prevents us from following our dreams, from being different, from truly living. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;The Devil and Miss Prym&lt;/i&gt; is a story charged with emotion, in which the integrity of being human meets a terrifying test. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>
