内容简介

A community devoured by greed, cowardice, and fear. A man persecuted by the ghosts of his painful past. A young woman searching for happiness. In one eventful week, each will face questions of life, death, and power, and each will choose a path. Will they choose good or evil? </p>

In the remote village of Viscos -- a village too small to be on any map, a place where time seems to stand still -- a stranger arrives, carrying with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars. He comes searching for the answer to a question that torments him: Are human beings, in essence, good or evil? In welcoming the mysterious foreigner, the whole village becomes an accomplice to his sophisticated plot, which will forever mark their lives. </p>

Paulo Coelho's stunning novel explores the timeless struggle between good and evil, and brings to our everyday dilemmas fresh perspective: incentive to master the fear that prevents us from following our dreams, from being different, from truly living. </p>

The Devil and Miss Prym is a story charged with emotion, in which the integrity of being human meets a terrifying test. </p>

读书文摘

我不知道上帝是否公正。可至少,他对我有夫偏颇。正是那种无能为力的感觉摧毁了我的灵魂。我既不能如自己期望的那般好,也无法如需要的那般坏。就在几分钟前,我还在想,是他选择我作为报复的工具,来惩罚让他伤心失望的世人。

你错了,神父先生。你去过天堂,只是现在认不出它了。这世上的大多数人都是这样,他们在最快乐的地方寻找痛苦,因为他们觉得自己不配幸福。
