Hilariously funny at times, grimly sad at others and elavened with perceptive insights into the ways of the people and with breathtaking descriptions of the Ecuadorian landscape.

Synopsis

At the age of 48, Moritz Thomsen sold his pig farm and joined the Peace Corps. As he tells the story, his awareness of the comic elements in the human situation--including his own--and his ability to convey it in fast-moving, earthy prose have made Living Poor a classic.

A MUST READ! I actually had a paper back copy, but loved the book enough to want a hard copy. I couldn't be happier. This came carefully packaged (celo wrapped). It looks like a new book at a great price. Arrived on time. Contact with seller got a quick answer before purchasing. 5 🌟

A Peace Corps Classic
As an RPVC who served at about the same time as Moritz Thomsen and in another South American country, my smiles and chuckles started at the beginning with his description of our training, which I was convinced at the time had been designed by a sadist. His account of his early experiences speaking Spanish brought back memories of some of my early and embarrassing faux pas. And my eventual mastery of the language which came as a result of working with my wonderful people. Although the work I was doing was quite different as an urban community development volunteer, the theme of our experiences was remarkably similar. The author beautifully conveys the power of the remarkable experience we all had. And which remains with us throughout our adult lives. I highly recommend this book to ...

I highly recommend this book to anyone who served overseas, as well as to those who wonder what Peace Corps life is like.

Here’s What It’s Like
I overlapped Moritz Thomsen’s two year stint with the Peace Corps in Ecuador. This book brings back so many memories of the good, bad, happy and sad of living and working in the Third World to try and make an impact, for the better, in people’s lives.

Brand new, mint condition book. Perfection, as I am gifting to a fellow Peace Corps colleague. Worth the read, it's quite a story. Thank you.
