Report to Greco

<br> Disarmingly personal and intensely philosophical, <i>Report to Greco</i> is a fictionalized account of Greek philosopher and writer Nikos Kazantzakis’s own life, a sort of intellectual autobiography that leads readers through his wide-ranging observations on everything from the Hegelian dialectic to the nature of human existence, all framed as a report to the Spanish Renaissance painter El Greco. The assuredness of Kazantzakis’s prose and the nimbleness of his thinking as he grapples with life’s essential questions—who are we, and how should we be in the world?—will inspire awe and more than a little reflection from readers seeking to answer these questions for themselves. <p>Not a form autobiography, but rather the summing up, by a great artist, of a lifetime's ideas, work, experiences, and friendships. </p>
