The Devil and Miss Prym

For fifteen years, the remote mountain village of Viscos has been a peaceful, predictable sanctuary of routine. But everything changes with the arrival of a mysterious stranger who carries eleven gold bars and a soul consumed by devastating cynicism. Driven by a desire to know whether humanity is inherently good or evil, he proposes a chilling wager to the townspeople: commit a single murder, and the gold is theirs to save their dying village.

The stranger chooses Chantal Prym, a sharp young barmaid torn between her dreams of escape and her moral conscience, to deliver his sinister offer to the community. Over the course of one tense, dramatic week, the villagers are forced to confront their deepest hypocritically hidden desires, their greed, and the terrifying ease with which ordinary people can justify absolute corruption.

Following the success of The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho concludes his powerful "And on the Seventh Day" trilogy with a brilliant psychological fable. This gripping novel challenges us to examine the choices we make when tempted by ultimate wealth, stripping away social conditioning to reveal the raw reality of human nature.

"Good and Evil have the same face; it all depends on when they cross the path of each individual human being."
