Living in the seeming hell of one of the poorest and most crowded quarters of Calcutta are the saints of today: saints such as Mother Teresa, saints such as Stephen Kovalski, an unknown Polish Catholic priest who made his home there to care for the poorest of poor. And Max Loeb an American physician dedicated to fighting disease in this dirty hellhole. City of Joy, the story of these saints, is a testament to the human spirit iunbowed by the most wretched of circumstances. This book was made into a movie starring Patrick Swayze – half the royalties received from the original sale of this book were donated to the people of the “City of Joy”.
