Mountains Beyond Mountains
The quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a man who would cure the world
Tracy Kidder
Paul Farmer found his life's calling in medical school: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine to those who need them most. Kidder's account takes the reader 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." At the heart of this book is an understanding of the Haitian proverb "Beyond mountains there are mountains" – as you solve one problem, another problem presents itself, and so you continue to solve that one too.
