三杯茶

內容簡介

內容簡介 The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the Taliban’s backyardAnyone 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.

The second time, you are an honored guest. The third time you become family.)」 作者Greg Mortenson在某次登山迷途時，意外與巴基斯坦山區的小村莊的居民相遇，從此展開他和這些朋友再也無法切割的命運。他被當地居民的善良深深感動，而承諾要為他們蓋一所學校。蓋一所學校並不是一件容易的事，Greg 也不是一個有錢的人，在動亂不安的巴基斯坦蓋學校更是一件難上加難的事；但是他不旦堅持實現這個承諾，更蓋了第二所、第三所、第五十五所學校。 從當年一開始笨拙地使用打字機寫信募款開始、到後來獲得幫助學會使用電腦、接到美國小學孩子們的第一筆捐款、然後累積第二筆、第三筆捐款…、在巴基斯坦山區建蓋學校時更是遭遇無數人為的和地理環境上的困難，我們隨著 Greg 耐心和持續的努力，也深入了這個他傾盡全力幫助的世界、了解他保無保留的付出、見證了一個人的堅持所帶來的改變。當世界上的其它人決定使用武力對抗回教基本教義份子的時候，Greg 用教育、用改變下一代作為他對抗的方式，他建造了提供基礎教育的學校，特別是也能讓女孩子接受教有的學校，讓人民有機會了解世界和獲得知識、豐富生命，支持回教教派極端份子自然會慢慢消失。 另一位作者 David Oliver Relin 執筆寫作，寫下 Greg 這麼多年來致力於建設學校的經驗。他以平實而自然生動的筆調書寫，並不搧動、也不誇張，只是如實描述就確實地感動讀者，讓這本書、這個故事的效應持續發酵，讓更多人加入幫助 Greg 持續實現承諾的行列。
