Author Description

To millions of people around the world, Mother Teresa portrays an image of a small woman in a white sari, offering love & compassion to the poorest of the poor. The life of this famous woman has already been well documented. What makes this book different is that Rai & Chawla, both Hindus, have interacted with their subject closely. Through his camera lens, Raghu Rai's powerful black & white portraits capture the emotive appeal of Mother Teresa & her Missionaries of Charity, unerringly reflecting her spirit & simplicity. Navin Chawla has known Mother Teresa for over 20 years; his text draws on rare documents, letters & conversations to provide a special insight into her mission.
