Nikos Kazantzakis not just as an author , but as a man was a beauty ....

his book and the film were both masterpieces .

He was one of the finer christians of the twentieth century imo. His book was written when he himself was suffering in the hospital from a tortuous nerve condition in his face , dictated to his beautiful wife at bedside for months and it was written with passion and truth and the most sublime reverence for Jesus as he percieved him. When the Christian community reacted as it did , it verified much for me personally, as to what real truth is about many things .

one quote from LTOC:

A prophet is the one who, when everyone else despairs hopes. And when everyone else hopes, he despairs. You'll ask me why. It's because he has mastered the Great Secret: that the Wheel turns.

- Nikos Kazantzakis (The Last Temptation, p.499)
