Paulo Coelho

Nick Caistor

Amanda Hopkinson

A novel from Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist.A stranger arrives in the small mountain village. He carries with him a backpack containing a notebook and eleven gold bars.Burying these in the vicinity, the stranger strikes up a curious friendship with a young woman from the village – Miss Prym. His mission is to discover whether human beings are essentially good or evil.In this stunning novel, Paulo Coelho’s unusual protagonist sets the town a moral challenge from which they may never recover. A fascinating meditation on the human soul, The Devil and Miss Prym illuminates the reality of good and evil within us all, and our uniquely human capacity to choose between them.

Hail Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who

turn to Thee for help. Amen.

And a certain ruler asked him, saying, ‘Good Master, what

shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Jesus said unto him,

‘Why callest thou me good? None is good, save one, that is God.’

Luke 18 :18-19

Author’s note (#ulink_0ef01b66-f158-59ae-bd9d-41b3305aa8a8)

The first story about division comes from ancient Persia: the god of time, having created the universe, sees harmony all around him, but feels that there is still something very important missing – a companion with whom to share all this beauty.
