In 'Christ Recrucified', Nikos Kazantzakis transports us to a Greek village under Turkish rule, where the representation of the Passion of Christ every seven years unleashes conflicts and passions. The election of the villagers to embody the characters of the Gospel coincides with the arrival of a group of Greek refugees, whose village has been devastated by the Turks. The refusal of the village leaders to share their resources and the fear of disease leads the refugees to take refuge in the caves of a nearby mountain. This novel explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and the struggle between compassion and selfishness in a complex historical and cultural context.
Nikos Kazantzakis was a Greek writer, journalist, politician, poet and philosopher. Widely considered a giant of modern Greek literature, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in nine different years, and remains the most translated Greek author worldwide.
