Report to Greco. An Autobiographical Novel.

First UK edition of Nikos Kazantzakis's Report to Greco

Nikos Kazantzakis; translated by P. A. BienPeter Adolph Bien
First UK edition. 8vo. 512pp. Orange cloth boards, lettered in gilt to spine. Translated from the Greek by P.A. Bien. Introduction by Helen Kazantzakis.
An autobiographical novel about the author's lifelong spiritual quest. Kazantzakis wrote the words "A Novel" on the title page of Report to Greco [Anaphorá ston Gkréko in Greek]. But in the truest sense it is his own autobiography – a re-creation of his inner life, which, rather than external incident, he felt to be the essence of his being. It is told in the form of a final communiqué by a "soldier" to his commander, who, having completed his mission is about to die and transform flesh into spirit. "With Report to Greco Kazantzakis sets the seal on his career. [I]t stands out as a last, lyrical, uninhibited testament of a free spirit." New York World-Telegram & Sun
