Mountains Beyond Mountains- Healing the World- The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer

Cover of ISBN 0375506160Mountains Beyond Mountains
Healing the World: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer:
Book by Tracy Kidder. Random House 336 pages Hardcover Published 2003-09-09. Description: Tracy Kidder is a winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the author of the bestsellers The Soul of a New Machine, House, Among Schoolchildren, and Home Town. 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.

At the center of Mountains Beyond Mountains stands Paul Farmer. Doctor, Harvard professor, renowned infectious-disease specialist, anthropologist, the recipient of a [MacArthur]Create? “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.

Mountains 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 book is 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.

“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.”Description:

"A fine writer and his extraordinary subject: Tracy Kidder, in givingus Paul Farmer, lifts up an image of hope -- and challenge -- that theworld 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 mostprovocative, brilliant, funny, unsettling, endlessly energetic, irksome,and charming characters ever to spring to life on the page. He hasembarked on an epic struggle that will take you from the halls ofHarvard Medical School to a sun-scorched plateau in Haiti, from theslums of Peru to the cold gray prisons of Moscow. He wants to change theworld. Certainly this luminous and powerful book will change the way yousee it."
   JONATHAN HARR, AUTHOROF

  • Review:: 'Inspiring and interesting Reads like a gripping novel. It is reassuring to know that someone like Paul Farmer exists in this cynical world.
  • Review:: 'Inspiring! A well written book about a 'saintly' person. It's nice to know there are people like Paul Farmer in this world. We need people like this to get things done. The author did a wonderful job telling Pauls story and about the realities of life in Haiti.
  • Review:: 'Paul Farmer -- The very picture of sainthood MBM is the story of Paul Farmer, legendary lecturer and epidemiologist, and a devoted and perceptive doctor who works among the poorest of the poor in Haiti and elsewhere. Farmer is one of those annoying people who eschews protocol and social niceties in order to keep his patients alive. He will "borrow" medicines from wealthy hospitals for use in his clinic. He will literally walk miles up steep mountains to make sure that his TB patients are taking all his medicines. This is not out of a desire to be nice, but because he knows that a missed dose can mean that a treatable disease will become one impervious to medicine and cut a wider swath of death. Farmer is a proponent of Archbishop's Oscar Romero's brand of liberation theology which sees Christ in the suffering of the poor and works for better lives for them. While Farmer's actions are based in this theological insight, they are practiced in the shacks of Haiti, the favelas of Peru, the streets of Boston and the prisons of Moscow--anywhere that drug-resistant forms of TB and other diseases have a stranglehold on communities. Paul Farmer is a saint - the kind of eccentric, dedicated lunatic who brings God's healing and compassion to the poor. He is no respecter of men, but a person whose theory comes from the streets, not from textbooks. I suggest the book over the abridged CD, read by author Tracy Kidder. The CD skimps on some of the most colorful stories and leaves out much of Farmer's theological grounding, which is a vital layer of his personality. And while Kidder is a fine author, his reading style tends toward the doleful and acerbic.
  • Review:: 'Encouraged to Action Dr. Paul Farmer proves that "seemingly intractable problems can be solved." I tend to look at the problems in Haiti and think one of two thoughts, maybe we should just bulldoze the place and start over or my little bit of help will not amount too much. This excellent account of Paul's life work convinces me that I must commit to work to lift people out of poverty. Read this book and you will find yourself giving it to those who need encouragement and you will be reading it again when you need encouragement to do your part to change our world.
