I remember that village and that small taverna. That was a marvelous ten days. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment, Mike. I’m so glad you enjoyed the post. Yes, I read Passion of Christ long ago and loved it. Anything Kazantzakis writes is okay by me.

What a lovely piece of thoughtful and evocative writing about a great book, and it brought back a lot of memories for me of Crete, the book, and the movie. Kazantzakis has of course written many more fine books, and I particularly like The Passion of Christ, set at the time of the Turkish presence and vividly recreating village life at that time, built around the production of a Passion Play.

Oh I do hope you’ll get to Crete some day. And reading anything by Kazantzakis will make you FEEL that you are in Greece, anyhow.

Not up for a trip to Crete at the moment, but I’ll try and pick up the book next time I’m at the library.

creates the country where he travels in the sense of not seeing beyond the end of your own nose (and culture), or creates by taking things in in a new environment? which do you think he meant?
