Argues that while Nikos Kazantzakis may have occupied the so-called borderlands between belief and unbelief throughout much of his career, he nonetheless possessed, or was possessed by, an intense awareness of the sacred. These 11 essays analyze in detail Kazantzakis's lifelong struggle to give voice to his understanding of God<-->especially as it was informed by elements of Bergsonism, Nietzcheanism, and Buddhism. The authors demonstrate the wealth of spiritual insight in his writing. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
