★ 一個登山者改變世界的真實故事，感動全球數百萬讀者★ 從攀登K2失敗，到在喜馬拉雅山區建立數十所學校★ 跨越戰爭、貧窮與文化衝突的人道教育行動《Three Cups of Tea》記錄Greg Mortenson從登山者轉變為教育行動者的真實故事。一次在巴基斯坦山區被村民救助後，他承諾為當地孩子建立學校，並展開長達十年的努力，在巴基斯坦與阿富汗偏遠地區建立數十所學校。這本書展現教育如何帶來希望，也說明一個人的信念能帶來深遠改變。"One day in 1993, high up in the world's most inhospitable mountains, Greg Mortenson wandered lost and alone, broken in body and spirit, after a failed attempt to climb K2, the world's deadliest peak. When the people of an impoverished village in Pakistan's Karakoram Himalaya took him in and nursed him back to health, Mortenson made an impulsive promise: He would return one day and build them a school. Although he was a homeless "climbing bum" living out of his aging Buick in Berkeley, California, Mortenson sold what few possessions he had to launch one of the most remarkable humanitarian campaigns of our time." "Three Cups of Tea" traces Mortenson's decade-long odyssey to build schools, especially for girls, throughout the region that gave birth to the Taliban and sanctua
