An inspiring story of faith and triumph over suffering from an international bestselling author.

Crafted with masterful prose and clarity of vision, this book is Paulo Coelho's inspiring story of the biblical prophet Elijah. Fleeting his homeland from persecution in the ninth century B.C., twenty-three-year-old Elijah takes refuge with a young widow and her son in the beautifl town of Akbar. Already struggling to maintain his sanity in a world fraught with tyranny and war, he is now foced to choose between his newly discovered love and his overwhelming sense of duty.
Evoking all the drama and intrigue of the colorful, chaotic weorld of the Middle East, Paulo Coelho turns the trails of Elijgah into intensely moving account of a man's soul-shattering trail of faith.
