The Monk of Mokha Paperback – Import, 8 January 2019

This is not just a story about getting some coffee beans from Yemen to Frisco. This is a story about how a man can fight against all odds to conquer the goal he has set for himself. I am absolutely sold by Mokhtar's Journey and what he has achieved in his life. A must read for anyone who is going through rough patches in life.

The seller has charged Rupees 888 though it’s price is Rs. 699Yet 4 stars because the book is original print.

What a great story! I picked up this book, thinking it was similar to assignment Rosti book I just finished reading, which was more of a fable. I would still light it to learn that this was a true story.Having spent time in the Middle East, I know something of its gloried past. I loved learning more about Yemen. I had no idea the Yemini were the first to brew coffee. I’m so glad that there is someone making it worthwhile for the farmers to grow coffee again rather than qat. This is the type of tale that helps you understand why America is a land of immigrants. Yes, they came for a better life, but they also came, hoping to make life better for those they left behind. Moktar truly is able to do thatDespite the fact that he seems worthless, once he found his dream, his passion, there was no stopping him from succeeding. I can’t wait to discuss the story with my book group. I’m eager to hear their insights into the tale.

Eggers is a fantastic writer and this is an exciting, fascinating story that made me want to finish it in one sitting. It also exposed me to worlds I knew nothing about (Coffee, Yemen, and its culture).Highly recommended!

nice read

Sterk beschreven op waarheid berustend. Voor koffie kenners zoals ik, extra informatief

Conoscevo Eggers per Zeitoun che mi ha avvicinato ad una scrittura testimone della attualità. Leggere di Mokhtar é stato pienamente interessante e mi ha reso partecipe non solo del mondo del caffè, ma soprattutto della natura della tragedia in atto nello Yemen.
