Book Description
Beatified by Pope John Paul II only six years after her death, Mother Teresa (1910-1997) continues to inspire people the world over through her personal example of unending faith and compassion. She founded the Mission of Charity, an order with the primary task of attending to the poor and neglected, and devoted her life to the underprivileged in the slums of Calcutta.
Magnum photographer Raghu Rai met Mother Teresa in the early 1970s and was immediately captivated by a woman who, from the age of 12, was fully aware of her "mission." In this poignant portrait, the photographer pays homage to the extraordinary nun and her extraordinary destiny. Threading his way through the impoverished streets of Calcutta, he captures her spiritual commitment and daily fight against poverty. With nearly a hundred powerful and moving images punctuated by conversational texts that recall the encounters between the photographer and his subject over a period of almost 30 years, this beautiful book will inspire believers everywhere, as well as all those looking to live by Mother Teresa's wonderful example. AUTHOR BIO: Raghu Rai has been a photographer with Magnum since 1977 and was director of photography for India Today from 1982 to 1992. He has produced more than ten books, including A Day in the Life of Indira Gandhi, Delhi: A Portrait, and Calcutta. He lives and works in Delhi.

Synopsis
In 1928, when she was only eighteen, Gonxha Agnes Bojaxhiu joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. From 1931 to 1948, Mother Teresa taught in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working in the slums of Calcutta. In October 1950, she started her own order, The Missionaries of Charity, whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody else was prepared to look after. Less than two years after her death, Pope John Paul II permitted the opening of her Cause of Canonization. On December 20, 2002, a decree approved Mother Teresa''s heroic virtues and the miracle attributed to her intercession. Known for his numerous reportages on India, Raghu Rai met Mother Teresa in the early 1970s. Fascinated by someone who, from the age of twelve, was fully aware of her "mission," he continued to photograph her until her death in 1997. The relationship of trust that Raghu Rai and Mother Teresa gradually built up is very apparent in the photographer''s work. He threaded his way with her through the streets of Calcutta, where the ever-present poverty and distress illustrated the need for Mother Teresa''s work. His photographs are punctuated by anecdotal texts that recall their encounters and imbued with the spirit that inspired him.
