Narrative Toward Books Christ Recrucified

Ο Χριστός ξανασταυρώνεται = Christ Recrucified = Le Christ recrucifie, Nikos Kazantzakis
The story concerns the attempts of a Greek village community to stage a Passion Play - which, as the title suggests, ends up with their in effect re-enacting the events of Jesus Christ's trial, suffering and death. It takes place in a Greek village, Lycovrisi (Wolf-spring), under Ottoman rule.
The village holds Passion Plays every seven years and the elders of the village choose the actors from among the villagers. Manolios, who is chosen to play the role of Christ, is a humble shepherd boy who was once a novice in a monastery. Yannakkos becomes Apostle Peter. He is a merchant-peddler who travels with his donkey through the villages and sells his items. He is warm-hearted, naïve and loves his donkey above all else. Michelis, the son of the wealthy nobleman old Patriarcheas, becomes Apostle John. Kostandis, the owner of the village café, is Apostle James the Great. He is good-hearted, willing to share, but confused. Then comes Panayotaros, who is chosen to be Judas. He is a wild, passionate man, waiting for revenge. The widow Katerina is Mary Magdalene. She is the village's prostitute. She is beautiful, but of course an outsider in the village, not caring about anybody's opinion. But she is the most generous one and in the end gives her life for what she believes in.
Then the Elders of Lycovrissi are introduced. There is the Priest Grigoris — a domineering man who bends God's will to his own. Archon Patriarcheas is the leader of the village. He only lives for his own pleasure. Old Ladas is a miser who is obsessed with his money but lives in poverty so that he doesn't have to spend any of it. Hadji Nikolis is the schoolmaster, who means well but is ineffectual, haunted by fear of his brother the priest.
The whole story is made colorful by the Turkish household consisting of The Agha, the Lord of Lycovrissi. He lives surrounded by his Oriental splendor, drinks himself crazy and enjoys rakı and pretty boys. Hussein is the guard, a giant Oriental who does everything his master asks of him.

هرچه از این نویسنده خوانده ام، مدهوشم کرده، زوربای یونانی را بارها نوشیده ام، و اکنون در این نامه، مسیح بار دیگر باز هم مصلوب شده است. محل رخداد داستان، یکی از روستاهای یونان است، که توسط «آقا»، حکمران منصوب از طرف دولت عثمانی، اداره می‌شود. «مانولیوس» نام شخصیت اصلی این رمان است، که الگوی خود را مسیح قرار داده‌، و داستان کلی رمان، روای ِ داستان زندگی وی، و تلاش‌ها و کوشش‌هایی ست، که او برای یاری به مردمان می‌کند. «آقا»، اختیاردار جان و مال و ناموس اهالی آبادی ست؛ ضمن این‌که در روابط خصوصی آن‌ها دخالتی ندارد. اختلاف بین «آقا» و ساکنان، زمانی آغاز می‌شود، که «یوسفک»، پسربچه ی امردی، که «آقا» از ترکیه آورده‌، و مونس ساعات خوش اوست، به قتل می‌رسد. «کازانتزاکیس» در این رمان، با موشکافی، تضاد بین حاکم ترک، و رعایای یونانی را، با طنزی دلنشین به تصویر کشیده، و از سویی دیگر، اتحاد این دو را، برای حفظ منافع مشترک، و سرکوب جنبش نوخاسته‌ ای، که به مذاق متعصبین کلیسا نیز ناخوش‌آیند است، نشان می‌دهد. این کتاب تصویری گویا از عناصر موجود در جامعه، و نماینده ی بینش‌های گوناگونی است، که با عنوانهای: ناسیونالیسم، سوسیالیسم، خرده بورژوازی، سرمایه‌ داری، فئودالیسم و انقلاب، در جایگاه مخصوص به خود، اعلام موجودیت می‌کنند. ا. شربیانی

Evaluation About Books Christ Recrucified

The first thing that strikes you when you read this book is the language and setting. Written more than 50 years ago, and describing events taking place nearly another 50 years before that, it at times feels like a fantasy setting. I suppose this will be doubly the case for those who have had little contact with Christian imagery and traditions.The book's title basically summarises the plot, and you can guess its broad outlines and the role of each character after the first few pages. What makes

I have always been a big admirer of Nikos Kazantzakis and I must say that although I rarely read books written by Greek authors when it comes to this brilliant man I can never resist. I have read all almost all his books but I place this one at the top of my list, even better than Zorba. I can read it again and again... and never get bored. The wording, the story, the characters...everything is simply perfect.

I have to say I wasnt particularly taken with the style of writing. To do with the translation, maybe? The story itself though was a fascinating and complex one that set me thinking almost from the start, even though I realize it can be read on different levels and may, to some, be just an interesting story.See also message 46 of the Netherlands & Flanders group: Uitdagingen > LENTE 2016 for a slighty more elaborate review in Dutch.

This marks the end of my journey with Kazantzakis's main works, at least for now. The central themes of Kaznatzakis's thought are very present here, namely the conflict between flesh and spirit and the idea that the path of men is the one that rises. Manolios's transformation from a lowly shepherd to a mirror for Christ is very captivating. The inner turmoil that he faces as he struggles to attain the Christian ideal is universal to all those who suffer. The characters of Michelis and Pope Fotis

I struggle to find the proper words to describe what reading this book did to me. It was almost a spiritual experience. It moved me to tears, made me question all my ideas about religion, its place in society, morality, justice... Reading Kazantzakis proved to be much more uplifting than reading the Bible or other sacrimonious canonical texts, because belief in Kazantzakis is something real, raw, human. He adds to belief that element of eternal struggle that the Church would not admit, but we

Moving story, if a bit (a lot) overwrought. I'm thinking maybe it's the translation on this one that isn't so good? I'd love to compare the original version if I ever get around to brushing up on my greek.

One of Kazantzakis great book, exploring his concerns about the human condition, inequalities and the use of religion to oppress the weak. He does this through the story of a small Greek village in Turkish territory where, every five year or so, the Passion is enacted. The villagers who will play the key characters are selected soon after Easter the year before, so that they can prepare themselves spiritually to embody holy personages. However, the arrival of refugees from a Greek village that
