Britský novinář, autor a satirik Thomas Malcolm Muggeridge byl známý svým pronikavým pohledem na společnost. Jeho dílo se často zabývalo kritikou moderních společenských trendů, jako byla sexuální revoluce a užívání drog. Po konverzi ke křesťanství se věnoval i duchovním tématům a pomohl zpopularizovat Matku Terezu na Západě. Muggeridgeův styl byl charakteristický svým bystrým vtipem a nekompromisním postojem.
Podtitul: Matka Tereza z Kalkaty. Svou pozornost jsme v tomto díle zaměřili na práci Matky Terezy a Misionářek lásky - řádu, který založila, tak že budeme psát o jejich práci, o životě, který žijí společně ve službě Kristu v Kalkatě a jinde. Jejich činnost má zvláštní charakter tím, že se věnují službě mezi nejchudšími z chudých, a to představuje skutečně široké pole působnosti.

Spanning sixty years of Malcolm Muggeridge's career, this comprehensive collection features a diverse array of his writings, including books, essays, journalism, and personal correspondence. It includes previously unpublished material gathered in the early 1980s, showcasing his unique voice and insights. This treasury offers a deep exploration of Muggeridge's thoughts and experiences, reflecting his influence on literature and journalism throughout the 20th century.
Back in print for the first time since Muggeridge's death in 1990, both published volumes of his acclaimed biography-The Green Stick and The Infernal Grove, plus the previously unpublished start to an unfinished third volume entitled The Right Eye-all brought together in one unabridged volume. Born in 1903, Malcolm Muggeridge started his career as a university lecturer in Cairo before taking up journalism. As a journalist he worked around the world on the Guardian, Calcutta Statesman, the Evening Standard and the Daily Telegraph. In 1953 became editor of Punch, where he remained for four years. In later years he became best known as a broadcaster both on television and radio for the BBC. His other books include Jesus Rediscovered, Christ and the Media, and A Third Testament.
No woman alive today has inspired so many with her simplicity of faith and compassion so all-encompassing. As she daily embraces the "least of the least" in her arms, Mother Theresa challenges the whole world to greater acts of service and understanding in the name of love. First published in 1971, this classic work introduced Mother Theresa to the Western World. As timely now as it was then, Something Beautiful for God interprets her life through the eyes of a modern-day skeptic who became literally transformed within her presence, describing her as "a light which could never be extinguised."
The book critiques the profound and often irresponsible influence of media, especially television, on society. It argues that this power is wielded without moral, intellectual, or spiritual considerations, raising concerns about the implications for public discourse and individual thought. The author emphasizes the need for a more responsible approach to media influence to foster a healthier societal environment.
