London: Arrow Books, 1992. 532pp. Light creasing to spine. Small name on lower edge inside front cover. Slight discolouration to feps. A tight, clean copy. Living in the seeming hell on one of the poorest and most crowded quarters of Calcutta are the saints of today: saints such as Mother Teresa, saints such as Stephan Kovalski, an unknown Polish Catholic priest who made his home there to care for the poorest of the poor, and Max Loeb, an American physician dedicated to fighting disease in this dirty hellhole. The story of these saints is a testament to the human spirit unbowed by the most wretched of circumstance. . Reprint. Soft Cover. Very Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
