"May you be forgiven, because you loved deeply."
The gripping novel by Nikos Kazantzakis tells a story of love and hate, courage and endurance. In a village, there is a custom to reenact the Passion of Christ every seven years. Father Grigoris and the elders select the people who will take part.
Christ will be played by Manolis, a simple shepherd, who after being chosen begins to change, striving to reach the highest spiritual and physical purity. When refugees arrive in the afternoon from another village, led by Father Fotis, fleeing from the Turks, the villagers become divided, as Father Grigoris and several others claim they bring with them a cholera epidemic.
The only ones who will help them are Michelis, Katerina, Giannakos, Kostantis, and Manolis, who will defend them by speaking about the value of love and compassion.
The masterpiece of Nikos Kazantzakis, Christ Recrucified, written with pain, love, and faith in humanity, traces the thrilling adventure of the Christian "myth" to carve the agonizing cycle around the fundamental problems of existence.
No one ever finds anything but what they seek; we – you felt it well, my Manolis – will find God where we are going, and we will find Him not as those who never saw Him portray Him, a rosy-cheeked old man sitting blissfully on fluffy clouds commanding, but as a small voice rising from our depths that raises war.
