About this product
Product Information
From Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Truck Full of Money , and adapted by Michael French comes this captivating and critically acclaimed young adult adaptation of the nonfiction edition of Kidder's Mountains Beyond Mountains , which tells the inspiring story of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Harvard-educated doctor with a self-proclaimed mission to transform healthcare on a global scale. Farmer focuses his attention on some of the world's most impoverished people and uses unconventional ways in which to provide healthcare, to achieve real results and save lives. From his humble beginnings and atypical childhood to his education at Harvard Medical School and on to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia, Farmer dedicated himself to the philosophy that "the only real nation is humanity." He sets an example of a life based on hope and understanding of the Haitian proverb "Beyond mountains there are mountains"--as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you go on and try to solve that one too. " An important story that feels like it breathes a dose of virtuous oxygen right into readers' heads. "-- Kirkus Reviews , Starred " Accessible and fascinating. ..It's focus on Farmer the humanitarian provides a much-needed education in empathy."-- Booklist " A thoughtful examination of a complex man operating in a complex world. "-- The Horn Book A Junior Library Guild Selection A Bank Street College Children's Book of the Year Selection A CBC Notable Children's Trade Books in the Field of Social Studies Selection

It's focus on Farmer the humanitarian provides a much-needed education in empathy."-- Booklist "A thoughtful examination of a complex man operating in a complex world."-- The Horn Book, "In this excellent work, Pulitzer Prize-winner Kidder immerses himself in and beautifully explores the rich drama that exists in the life of Dr. Paul Farmer…Throughout, Kidder captures the almost saintly effect Farmer has on those whom he treats." -Publisher's Weekly , starred review "[A] Skilled and graceful exploration of the soul of an astonishing human being." -Kirkus Reviews , starred review "A fine writer and his extraordinary subject: Tracy Kidder, in giving us Paul Farmer, lifts up an image of hopeand challengethat the world urgently needs. Simply put, this is an important book." - James Carroll , author of Constantine''s Sword "The central character of this marvelous book is one of the most provocative, brilliant, funny, unsettling, endlessly energetic, irksome, and charming characters ever to spring to life on the page. He has embarked on an epic struggle that will take you from the halls of Harvard Medical School to a sun-scorched plateau in Haiti, from the slums of Peru to the cold gray prisons of Moscow. He wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it."- Jonathan Harr , author of A Civil Action "A profoundly inspiring and important book about one of the truly great men of our time." - Ethan Canin , author of Carry Me Across the Water "Here is a genuine hero alive in our times. Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of gathering revelation. Like all of Tracy Kidder's books, it is as hard to put down as any good and true story."- Annie Dillard , author of The Writing Life " Mountains Beyond Mountains is the only book I've read in years that made me feel like cheering. It left me uncomfortable, guilty, and exhausted-but it also inspired me, kept me up all night, and moved me to tears. Some readers will find their lives changed forever; everyone else will emerge, at the very least, with an unexpectedly revised set of values. Tracy Kidder has given us not only an unforgettable book but an unignorable life lesson. Hurrah!" - Anne Fadiman , author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down "Rarely has idealism fared so well on the planet as in Tracy Kidder's eloquently reported Mountains Beyond Mountains . One is tempted to call Paul Farmer's passionate sensibilities and loving ambitions otherworldly, but only in sadness that there are too few of him in the world. Kidder has provided us all, as the Farmerites say, with a road map to decency, and such an endowment is beyond measure." - Bob Shacochis , author of Easy in the Islands "Is there anything Tracy Kidder can''t do? This is a beautiful book, and a masterful one. Even better, Mountains Beyond Mountains is a page-turner that will crack your conscience open." - Stacey Schiff , author of Vera "An incredible story about an incredible man told by an incredible writer. Mountains Beyond Mountains is the sort of book that makes you want to buy a hundred copies and pass them out like a street corner evangelist. It''s the sort of book that will affect your life in a profound way. In a good way." - Thom Jones , author of The Pugilist at Rest "Saints are notoriously difficult people, but who knew one could be so funny, so utterly charming, and finally so deft in accomplishing that most impossible of all job descriptions--changing the world? Tracy Kidder''s spellbinding story presents us with an unlikely saint and finally, with inspiration so compelling it makes the usual cynicism about global change seem indulgent foolishness." -Patricia

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
