The "Existential Kazantzakis" undoubtedly pertains to the philosophical stance of the author, but it also offers another dimension that covers his journey through the paths of thought up to his ultimate validation as an existence.

The duality of Kazantzakis, which is emphasized here, gives him the mark of a deeply contemplative person but also of a non-metaphysical existential being, who, once cultivated in the dimension that characterizes him most, wishes to offer his true self to humanity. In this sense, the myths about the "chair-bound centaur" and solitary type are overturned, and his true properties emerge, which he brought to the surface after spiritual torment, and the findings he puts to use for humanity, for the very simple person and not the superhuman.

Ideally, the title of the book should be "The Unknown Kazantzakis" because many myths regarding both his life and work are overturned. "The Existential Kazantzakis" is a book of upheavals and changes that penetrates the deeper personality of the author, without that point which presents him solely as metaphysical and largely distant from the real problems of humanity.

Here, a Kazantzakis is presented who serves thought and God without abandoning the simple everyday person with their myriad problems.
