Best Selling Books by Malcolm Muggeridge

"The spiritual parallel to his highly praised memoir, Chronicles of Wasted Time, Malcolm Muggeridge''s ''confessions'' recount his journey to faith in an age of disbelief. From his reception into the Roman Catholic Church in 1982 back to his boyhood and his college days at Cambridge, from a teaching stint in Cairo to his career as a journalist in India, Russia, and Britain through the war years—Muggeridge highlights the events that served as epiphanies or moments of revelation. Throughout, he records his growing disillusionment with this century''s utopian dreams and the corresponding awakening of his own faith. The result is vintage Muggeridge: the prose is clear and lively; images and descriptions are accompanied by an acerbic wit, written in a tone alternately brash and self-deprecating." --

A critical biography of the Victorian novelist & satirist by the noted critic & editor of "Punch." Although certain other critics have termed Butler a rebel against the constraints of Victorianism, Muggeridge maintains that Butler was, rather, the epitome of the Victorian writer. "A piquant study which ''debunks'' the ''debunker'' subtly & with psychological fairness, Mr. Muggeridge has achieved a thought-provoking, truthful, amusing portrait."--MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.
