The Devil and Miss Prym - Paulo Coelho ... 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.

... be the victim or put my faith in everyone in my town to make the ‘right’ decision. There is a balance of good and bad throughout the novel and comparisons to ordinary things which just seemed the complete opposite to each other including the small village of Viscos to the big cities.

The Devil and Miss Prym is a clever story of Good verses Evil. Coelho introduces the two concepts of how evil came about – the early Persian idea that the God of Time gave birth to Good and Evil or the second idea is the story of Adam and Eve and ‘man as the instrument of Evil’.
