NIKOS KAZANTZAKIS ZORBA THE GREEK 'Throughout my life my greatest benefactors have been my dreams and my travels; very few men, living or dead, have helped me in my struggle.' Prologue to the Greek edition of Zorba the Greek Nikos Kazantzakis was born in 1883 in Herakleion on Crete, then part of the Ottoman Empire. His father, idealised as Captain Michales in Freedom and Death, was a farm trader. During the Cretan revolt of 1897 the family was sent to the island of Naxos, where he attended the French School of the Holy Cross, run by the Franciscans. From 1902 to 1906 he studied law at Athens University. He also worked as a journalist. His first book, The Serpent and the Lily, was a lyric narrative influenced by D'Annunzio. He wrote several plays. His remarkable travels began in 1907 and there were few countries in Europe or Asia that he didn't visit in the course of his life. He made four journeys to the USSR. He attended Bergson's lectures in Paris and in 1908 wrote his doctoral dissertation on Nietzsche, as well as his first novel, Broken Souls. He worked for Venizelos during the first Balkan War and subsequently made a pilgrimage to the ancient sites of Greece with the poet Sikelianos. They spent forty days on Mount Athos. Two years later he unsuccessfully ran a lignite mine in the Peloponnesus with George Zorbas, immortalised in Zorba the Greek. He studied Buddhism in Vienna and later belonged to a group of radical intellectuals in Berlin, and began his great epic The Odyssey (33,333 lines, completed in 1938). He wrote more novels, plays, travel journals, articles and translations. He visited England in 1940 and spent the war years on the island of Aegina under German occupation. He was Minister without Portfolio in the Sofoulis coalition government and worked briefly for Unesco. In 1954 the Vatican placed The Last Temptation on the Index. He finally settled in Antibes with his second wife. He died of leukaemia in October 1957, shortly after his return from a journey to China and Japan. He is buried at Herakleion, where the epitaph on his tomb reads: 'I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. Donor challenge: For only 1 more day, a generous supporter will match your donations 2-to-1.
