"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." --

Muggeridge''s writing dazzles with its prophetic insight, courage and wit. He was the first writer to reveal the true nature of Stalin''s regime when in 1933 he exposed the terror famine in the Ukraine. Four decades later, Muggeridge was to make the work of Mother Teresa of Calcutta who contributed a Foreword to this book during the initial stages of its research known all over the world. This enthralling collection of Muggeridge''s journalism, reveals the astonishing range and steadiness of his gaze. Muggeridge seems to have been present at the great turning points of the last century and to have known, and seen through, the pretensions of many of its protagonists. Painstakingly researched from amongst Muggeridge''s private papers, journals, letters and unpublished works, Time and Eternity offers unique and inspirational insight into the professional and private journey of one of the great writers of our time.
