He has been described by the \"Baltimore \"Sun as the \"master of the non-fiction narrative.\" This powerful and inspiring new book shows how one person can make a difference, as Kidder tells the true story of a gifted man who is in love with the world and has set out to do all he can to cure it. \u003cbr\u003eAt the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a MacArthur \"genius\" grant, world-class Robin Hood, Farmer was brought up in a bus and on a boat, and in medical school found his life's calling: to diagnose and cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. This magnificent book shows how radical change can be fostered in situations that seem insurmountable, and it also shows how a meaningful life can be created, as Farmer--brilliant, charismatic, charming, both a leader in international health and a doctor who finds time to make house calls in Boston and the mountains of Haiti--blasts through convention to get results. \u003cbr\u003eMountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba, and Russia as Farmer changes minds and practices through his dedication to the philosophy that \"the only real nation is humanity\" - a philosophy that is embodied in the small public charity he founded, Partners In Health. He enlists the help of the Gates Foundation, George Soros, the U.N.'s World Health Organization, and others in his quest to cure the world. At the heart of this bookis the example of a life based on hope, and on an understanding of the truth 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. \u003cbr\u003e\"Mountains Beyond Mountains unfolds with the force of a gathering revelation,\" says Annie Dillard, and Jonathan Harr says, \"[Farmer] wants to change the world. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way you see it.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"From the Hardcover edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracy Kidder\u003c\/b\u003e graduated from Harvard and studied at the University of Iowa.
