The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyard
Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.

Condición: Como nuevo. : La asombrosa y edificante historia de un Indiana Jones de la vida real y su campaña humanitaria para usar la educación para combatir el terrorismo en el patio trasero de los talibanes. Cualquiera que desespere del poder del individuo para cambiar vidas tiene que leer la historia de Greg Mortenson, un montañero sin hogar que, tras una escalada en 1993 al traicionero K2 de Pakistán, se inspiró en un encuentro casual con aldeanos de montaña empobrecidos y prometió construirles una escuela. Durante la siguiente década, construyó cincuenta y cinco escuelas, especialmente para niñas, que ofrecen una educación equilibrada en una de las regiones más aisladas y peligrosas de la tierra. A medida que narra la búsqueda de Mortenson, que lo ha puesto en conflicto tanto con islamistas enfurecidos como con estadounidenses incomprensivos, Tres tazas de té combina la aventura con una celebración del espíritu humanitario.
