Profound and powerful,Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba and Russia, as the charismatic but flawed genius Dr Paul Farmer challenges widely-held preconceptions about poverty and healthcare. As a medical student, Farmer found his life's calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine so readily available in the developed world to those who need them most. Beginning in Haiti, he tackles the conditions that contribute to so many unnecessary deaths with his trademark combination of world-class expertise, unlimited compassion, and the unstinting dedication of friends and colleagues. Tracy Kidder's magnificent and moving account shows how, from achieving this modest dream, one person can make a difference in solving global problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems and medicine.

聪明绝顶的天才，加上长袖善舞的人际能力，他选择了用最艰难的、自我牺牲的方式去拯救那些贫穷者、被压迫者、被忽视者。你甚至都无法嫉妒他。他存在的意义就是让你时刻提醒自己，不管你做了多少，你都还做得不够。以及，无论如何，你会感激这个世界上有他这样一个人存在。
