This novel was the basis for the 1992 movie starring Patrick Swayze. Affluent people come to the squalid section of Calcutta to serve the poor and discover joy in those people and in themselves.

This book is about one man's experiences in Calcutta, India - the City of Joy. This book is a real eye opener and one you will not soon forget!
