Kazantzakis, Nikos (, 1883-1957)

The last temptation of Christ / Nikos Kazantzakis - New York : Simon & Schuster Paperbacks , 2015, c1960 - 506 p. ; 21 cm

Hailed as a masterpiece by critics worldwide, The Last Temptation of Christ is a monumental reinterpretation of the Gospels that brilliantly fleshes out Christ's Passion. This literary rendering of the life of Jesus Christ has courted controversy since its publication by depicting a Christ far more human than the one seen in the Bible. He is a figure who is gloriously divine but earthy and human, a man like any other--subject to fear, doubt, and pain.
