A stranger arrives at the remote village of Viscos, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars.

In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives.

Emily M. (This was a rather interesting, psychologically-driven story told in deceptively simple language. The question of good vs. evil and the drivers are, of course, universal, and I appreciated the way Coelho drew on more than Christian myths in order to weave the story. I'll be thinking on this one for a while.
I LOVE this book. Paulo Coelho's writing flows off the page like liquid mercury. Once you step into this world I didn't want to leave. Somehow everything he writes manages to be applicable to whatever is going on in your life at that time, and shed some light on it. It's like magic.
This was a thought provoking book. A story of the tug of war between good and evil.
