Hailed as 'my spiritual brother' by Albert Schweitzer, and oft-compared to fellow giants Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Nikos Kazantzakis occupies a unique place among the literary notables of our time.
Theodora Vasils, a long established authority on Nikos Kazantzakis, has just completed what I find to be the most dramatic, authentic book on the writings of the great Cretan author. She has benefitted from memories of her friend, Helen, his wife and collaborator, to give us a stirring docudrama in print of the life and struggles of a legendary writer of our time.
