description: The wife of Nikos Kazantzakis - novelist, poet, philosopher, the author of such world-famous masterpieces as "Zorba the Greek," "The Greek Passion," "The A Modern Sequel," and "The Last Temptation of Chirst" - has set out to record the life, the work, the thoughts, the loves, of a major figure in world literature. In a narrative of compelling force and brilliance, Helen Kazantzakis (herself a distinguished writer) describes the odyssey of Kazantzakis, interweaving into her text many hundreds of his unpublished letters, from his school days to the last notes he wrote on his deathbed.
