Nikos Kazantzakis: Autobiography of the Soul 1
*Autobiography of the Soul* is the autobiography of Nikos Kazantzakis, a representative writer of modern Greek literature. It was written shortly before his death. It contains records of his childhood spent in Crete under Turkish occupation, as well as his journey back to Crete in search of spiritual fulfillment, traveling through Italy, Jerusalem, Paris, Vienna, Berlin, and Russia. This autobiography tells the story of what humans achieve in the course of life. Recording the trajectory of the soul forged in blood, sweat, and tears, Kazantzakis explores the themes of immortal human struggle and greatness. Readers encounter writings penned by Kazantzakis as he prepared to face death, having built a spiritual territory while immersing himself in Greece's brilliant cultural background. Through the confession of a writer who lived his entire life pursuing dreams and struggles, and who willingly embraced his approaching death without fear, the book conveys lessons regarding our lives, struggles, and death. In particular, the final section details the creative process of *The Odyssey*, a work in which Kazantzakis recorded his lifelong spiritual journey in the form of an epic poem. (Volume 1) [Hardcover]
