Nikos Kazantzakis (1883 – 1957) 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.
About the book: This work deals with the final hours of Julian the Apostate, during his expedition against the Persians in 363 AD. As the Persians move to encircle Julian's army, the Christians plot his murder.
Writing history: In a letter sent to Prevelakis from Gottesgab in 1931, Kazantzakis confided that he had long found the figure of Julian moving, and that he was planning to write a major work entitled The Apostate. The tragedy was written in 1939, in Shakespeare's daughter's house in Stratford-on-Avon, as warplanes droned overhead. An excerpt was published in Kathimerini newspaper on 8th April 1940. Kazantzakis translated the play into French in 1948.
