At a time when he was both his country’s most celebrated novelist and a journalist struggling to make ends meet, “Zorba the Greek” authorset sail for Japan on a formative journey that would shape the latter half of his career – and ultimately lead to his untimely death.
The book sheds light on a formative period in the life and philosophical evolution of Kazantzakis, whose signature works – such as “Zorba the Greek” and “The Last Temptation of Christ” – still lay before him. “It’s at the core of the way he was thinking, [but] it’s a piece of text that we don’t know about,” said Chatzistefanou. “It’s one of the periods of his life that isn’t discussed in the official histories.
Kazantzakis, however, was fervid in his anti-imperialist beliefs, a conviction that prevented him from speaking out against – or perhaps even recognizing – the growing menace of fascism that in the 1930s was sweeping across the globe. “He didn’t really criticize fascism as one would expect,” said Chatzistefanou.
