Tres tazas de té

Synopsis of Tres tazas de té

In 1993, Greg Mortenson was returning from a failed attempt to reach the summit of K2. Exhausted and disoriented, he arrived at a village in northern Pakistan where he was cared for until his recovery. During his stay, he saw how the children of the village studied their lessons in the open, writing with a stick in the muddy ground. Before returning home, Mortenson promised to return and build a school. From that promise was born one of the most incredible humanitarian campaigns in history: the mission of a single man to fight extremism and terrorism by building schools, especially for girls, in the country that saw the birth of and feeds the Taliban. Two and a half million copies sold and staying on the bestseller lists for more than a year confirm the literary phenomenon of Three Cups of Tea, which has also been rewarded with the recognition of TIME magazine as “Best Book of the Year on Asia.”
