Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World (Random House Reader's Circle)

This compelling and inspiring book, now in a deluxe paperback edition, shows how one person can work wonders. In Mountains Beyond Mountains, Pulitzer Prizeâ€”winning author Tracy Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who loves the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it.

In medical school, Paul Farmer found his lifeâ€™s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Kidderâ€™s magnificent account takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that â€œthe only real nation is humanity.â€ At the heart of this book is the example of a life based on hope and on an understanding of the truth of the Haitian proverb â€œBeyond mountains there are mountainsâ€â€“as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too.

â€œMountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with a force of gathering revelation,â€ says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr notes, â€œ[Paul Farmer] wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.â€
