‘Here we drink three cups of tea to do business; the first you are a stranger, the second you become a friend, and the third, you join our family, and for our family we are prepared to do anything – even die.’
Haji Ali, Korphe Village Chief, Karakoram mountains, Pakistan
In 1993, after a terrifying and disastrous attempt to climb K2, a mountaineer called Greg Mortenson drifted, cold and dehydrated, into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram Mountains. Moved by the inhabitants’ kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools – especially for girls – in remote villages across the forbidding and breathtaking landscape of Pakistan and Afghanistan, just as the Taliban rose to power. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit.

Condición: Bueno. : En 1993, tras un intento aterrador y desastroso de escalar el K2, un montañero llamado Greg Mortenson llegó, frío y deshidratado, a un empobrecido pueblo pakistaní en las montañas de Karakoram. Conmovido por la amabilidad de los habitantes, prometió regresar y construir una escuela. 'Tres tazas de té' es la historia de esa promesa y su extraordinario resultado. A lo largo de la siguiente década, Mortenson construyó no solo una, sino cincuenta y cinco escuelas, especialmente para niñas, en pueblos remotos a través del paisaje prohibido e impresionante de Pakistán y Afganistán, justo cuando los talibanes ascendieron al poder. Su historia es a la vez una aventura fascinante y un testimonio del poder del espíritu humanitario.
