“May you rest in peace, for you loved greatly.” The gripping novel by Nikos Kazantzakis tells a story of love and hate, courage and endurance. In a village, there is a tradition to reenact the Passion of Christ every seven years.
Father Grigoris and the local leaders choose the individuals who will participate. Manolios, a simple shepherd, will portray Christ, and after his selection, he will begin to change, striving for the greatest purity, both spiritually and physically.
When refugees from another village arrive in the afternoon, led by Father Foti, as they are being pursued by the Turks, the villagers will become divided, as Father Grigoris and several others will say that they bring with them a cholera epidemic. The only ones who will help them are Michalis, Katerina, Giannakos, Konstantis, and Manolios, who will defend them by speaking about the value of love and compassion.
The masterpiece of Nikos Kazantzakis The Christ Recrucified, written with pain, love, and faith in humanity, traces the captivating adventure of the Christian “myth” to outline the urgent circle surrounding the fundamental problems of existence.
No one ever finds anything but what they seek; we –you felt it well, my Manolios– will find, where we go, God, and we will find Him not as those who have never seen Him portray Him, a rosy-cheeked old man, who sits blissfully on feathered clouds and commands, but as a small voice that leaps from our guts and raises war.
The new editions, featuring new covers and specially designed fonts, come with introductory texts and an epilogue, providing more details about the work itself and the era in which it was written.
