  14. Back-mt1 Ⅲ. Background Information Mother Teresa (1910--1997) Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun who received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the poor. She was known as the saint of the gutters. In 1950, Mother Teresa founded a religious order in Calcutta, India, called the Missionaries of Charity. The order provides food for the needy and operates hospitals, schools, orphanages, youth centers, and shelters for lepers and the dying poor. It has branches in about 50 Indian cities and about 30 other countries.

  15. Back-mt2 Mother Teresa, whose original name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born in what is now Skopje, Macedonia. In 1928, she joined a religious order, which sent her to India. She took the name Teresa after joining the order. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948, the Catholic Church granted her permission to leave her convent and work among the city’s poor people. She became an Indian citizen that year.

  16. Back-mt3 In addition to the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa received other awards for her work with the needy. These awards include the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize, which she received in 1971, and India’s Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding, given to her in 1972. Mother Teresa died in 1997. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)

  17. Back-little price1 Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) and The Little Prince Saint-Exupery, a French aviator, created the literature of aviation in France. However, he is probably best known for his fantasy, The Little Prince (1943). In the story, a young prince from a distant planet tells the author of his experiences as he wandered among the planets seeking wisdom. The Little Prince, like Saint-Exupery’s other major writings, reflects his regard for human values and his opposition to all abuses of the human spirit.

  18. Back-little price2 Saint-Exupery was born in Lyon. He served in the French Army Air Force from 1921 to 1923. In 1926, he became a commercial pilot, flying from France to West Africa and in South America. He based his first books, the novels Southern Mail (1928) and Night Flight (1931), on these early flights. Wind, Sand and Stars (1939) is a collection of philosophical essays on the risks and rewards of flying. During World War II (1939-1945), Saint-Exupery flew dangerous reconnaissance missions. Flight to Arras (1942) is an account of one such wartime assignment. His Wartime Writings: 1939-1944 was published in 1986. In 1944, Saint-Exupery disappeared on a photographic mission. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)

  19. Back-civil war Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) The Spanish Civil War was a conflict in Spain following the failure of a military rebellion to overthrow Spain’s democratically elected government. The war divided Spain both geographically and ideologically. It brought to power General Francisco Franco, who ruled Spain from the end of the war until his death almost 40 years later. By the time the war was over, an estimated 500,000 people had been killed in combat or by execution, or had died as a result of hunger or wounds. An additional 250,000 to 500,000 supporters of the losing side left Spain to avoid persecution. (From the 2004 Encarta Reference Library)
