Report To Greco

Bought it as b'day gift for my dad and he was very happy. He wanted this book for such a long time. I so thankful to Amazon for thi book, for I had searched many bookstores for this one and was disappointed. Now, I waiting for him to finish so that I can start reading :))

The Greek God of Philosophy. Nikos Kazantzakis. Th supreme commander of life philosophy. Life, soul, flesh, revolt, love, dignity, disease, salvation, freedom, deliverance, struggle, illness, buddha, hunger, joy, being, non-being, despair, conscience and the supreme ascent. Saviors of God, St. Francis and Greco is the culmination of all his works. Take a deep dive into the abyss. Nobody beats Kazantzakis.

Autobiographical but in Kazantzakis inimitable style, he uses sense impression and metaphor interchangeably with fact to elaborate his travels and travails from birthplace Crete and back - stunning art.

all good

Excellent

This is work that deserves to be far more widely known than it is. A beautifully written 'confession' of Kazantzakis's struggle to find a ground on which his soul can stand. It is impossible not empathise with the struggle. A powerful piece for anyone who has ever reflected.

Book is in good condition and came in good time. Looking forward to reading more of the author's work - I so enjoyed with Zorba the Greek.
