El autor de El Círculo vuelve con la increíble historia verdadera de Mokhtar Alkhanshali, un joven norteamericano de origen yemení que regresó a su país para recuperar el cultivo ancestral del café y se vio atrapado en una guerra civil.

Mokhtar Alkhanshali, hijo de inmigrantes yemeníes, ha crecido en el barrio más conflictivo de San Francisco y a sus veinticuatro años es incapaz de pagarse la universidad. Mientras trabaja de portero en un bloque de pisos de lujo, descubre que el café, al igual que él, tiene su origen en Yemen, por lo que decide investigar la historia y la producción de esta antiquísima bebida viajando al país de sus antepasados. En las montañas más remotas del Yemen este joven norteamericano visita a los caficultores y los escasos cafetales para encontrar las mejores bayas y exportarlas a Estados Unidos, pero la guerra civil estalla y las puertas del país se cierran convirtiendo su regreso en una aventura extremadamente arriesgada.

Dave Eggers firma esta inspiradora historia real sobre un valiente emprendedor que soñó con resucitar el arte ancestral del café en su país. A través de una exhaustiva investigación, Eggers nos invita a ser conscientes de lo que significa ser musulmán en Occidente y rompe una lanza a favor de la necesidad de tender puentes entre culturas. El monje de Moka es un relato de superación, una crónica bélica pero también un recorrido por la historia y el origen de esta popular bebida, así como por el cultivo, la recolección y el procesado del café de alta calidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The Monk of Mokha is the exhilarating true story of a young Yemeni American man, raised in San Francisco, who dreams of resurrecting the ancient art of Yemeni coffee but finds himself trapped in Sana'a by civil war.

Mokhtar Alkhanshali is twenty-four and working as a doorman when he discovers the astonishing history of coffee and Yemen's central place in it. He leaves San Francisco and travels deep into his ancestral homeland to tour terraced farms high in the country's rugged mountains and meet beleagured but determined farmers. But when war engulfs the country and Saudi bombs rain down, Mokhtar has to find a way out of Yemen without sacrificing his dreams or abandoning his people.

Great value for a one-time event! Perfect for graduation.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I bought this suit for my son's graduation, and it was exactly what we needed. Since he will probably only wear it once, I didn't want to spend a fortune at a high-end department store. For the price, the quality is surprisingly good; it looked sharp and he received a lot of compliments during the ceremony. We ordered a size Large (L) based on their sizing chart, and it was true to size and fit him perfectly. The fabric is lightweight but doesn't look cheap at all, making this a fantastic, excellent cost-benefit choice if you are looking for an option for a one-time event. Highly recommended!

Great for the price.
Color: Black, Size: Large, Color: Black, Size: Large
I’m 220lbs 6’1 athletic build. Arms/back couldn’t fit inside the jacket. Pants and vest fit fine though. I honestly should get stuff tailored considering my body competition. Good quality for the price worked for me.

XL sized suit review
Color: Light Blue, Size: X-Large
I ordered XL for my husband who is 6'1" and weighs 200 lbs. The pants' length was too long and we had to cut off two inches and get them hemmed. Jacket could be a little bigger in the mid section and shoulders but vest fit well. Could do without the fake handkerchief in the suit jacket pocket. Still liked the style and the color of the light blue suit.

Perfect for teens
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
Great suit! Great quality for the price. Very impressed. Bought for my teens. Didn't want to spend a lot on something they won't wear more than a couple times before they grow again. This suit is great. A tad long in the arms and legs. But overall, its perfect. Fitting suit, but got a size larger for their comfort. Surprised at the quality, my mom was impressed and she knows suits.
