HTML:<b>“[A] masterpiece . . . an astonishing book that will leave you questioning your own life and political views . . . Kidder opens a window into Farmer’s soul, letting the reader peek in and see what truly makes the good doctor tick.”—Nicholas Thomas, <i>USA Today</i><br /></b><br /> In medical school, Paul Farmer found his life’s calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Tracy Kidder’s magnificent account shows how one person can make a difference in solving global health problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems, and disease. Profound and powerful, <i>Mountains Beyond Mountains</i> takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes people’s minds through his dedication to the philosophy that “the only real nation is humanity.”<br /> <b>Praise for <i>Mountains Beyond Mountains</i></b><br /> “A true-to-life fairy tale, one that inspires you to believe in happy endings . . . Its stark sense of reality comes as much from the grit between the pages as from the pure gold those pages spin.”<b>—Laura Claridge, <i>Boston Sunday Globe</i></b><br /> “Stunning . . . <i>Mountains Beyond Mountains</i> will move you, restore your faith in the ability of one person to make a difference in these increasingly maddening, dispiriting times.”<b>—John Wilkens, <i>The San Diego Union-Tribune</i></b><br /> “Easily the most fascinating, most entertaining and, yes, most inspiring work of nonfiction I’ve read this year.”<b>—Charles Matthews, <i>San Jose Mercury News</i></b><br /> “It’ll fill you equally with wonder and hope.”<b>—Cathy Burke,</b> <i><b>People</b></i><br /> “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.”<b>—<i>Publisher’s</i> <i>Weekly </i>(starred review)<br /></b><br /> “[A] skilled and graceful exploration of the soul of an astonishing human being.”<b>—<i>Kirkus</i> <i>Reviews </i>(starred review)</b>.
