Prometeo de Nikos Kazantzakis
No full textIn this essay about the dramatic trilogy Prometheus by Nikos Kazantzakis, it is analysed the recreation of myth as an esthetic resource allowing the author to show an existencialist conception of life. For that purpose a dialogue is established with the Aeschylos's tragedy who is the first poet to resort to this myth in a dramatic play.Then we analysed the reappropiation of myth carried out by Kazantzakis on the basis of an individual proposal, that describes an existencialist vision of man and life
Paramythia Tou Aisopou, Pemptos Tomos
No full textThis is the fifth of six volumes in a series that I found in Greek Video's catalogue. The first two volumes are under 1978/97, while the third and fourth are under 1986/96. Three stories: The Monkey and the Fox, BW, and The Lobster and the Fox. Nikos Neiros illustrates the first two stories and Michales Benetoulias the last. The animals' feats in competing for kingship in the first fable offer perhaps the best illustrations in this series. Many wolves attack the flock in the second fable. This volume returns to the format of the first two, with a small picture and a promythium on the title-page of each story. The monkey king, the fox, and other animals are pictured by Benetoulias on the cover. The back cover of all six volumes is the same.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: Modern GreekThird editionNestoras Chouno

Nikos Kazantzakis: La espera muda
No full textUsing two key concepts in existentialist philosophy, "situation" and "limit situation", this article establishes a relation of solidarity between the thought of Nikos Kazantzakis and Karl Jaspers. The dramatic work Comedy...tragedy in one act is analyzed from this existential concept, also establishing some considerations about Jean Paul Sartre's thought on a "theatre of situations". Kazantzakis' work is analyzed taking into consideration elements proper to drama seen from the point of view of the central motif which runs through it, salvation and the pursuit of transcendence. Lastly, the projections of this motif in the whole work of the author are touched upon, as well as the lucidity with which he anticipat es other authors and European tendencies of midtwentieth century.El siguiente artículo establece una relación solidaria entre el pensamiento de Nikos Kazantzakis y Karl Jaspers, a partir de dos conceptos claves para la filosofía existencialista: el de "situación" y "situación límite". Es a partir de esta concepción existencial que se analiza la pieza dramática Comedia...tragedia en un acto, estableciendo también algunas consideraciones con el pensamiento de Jean Paul Sartre en torno a un "Teatro de situaciones". La obra de Kazantzakis es analizada atendiendo a los elementos propios del drama a la luz del motivo central que la recorre, la salvación y búsqueda de trascendencia. Por último, se señalan las proyecciones de este motivo en la obra global del autor y la lucidez co
Between the authorship and redemption: Critical approaches about Nikos Kazantzakis
No full textThis article aims to reflect on the reasons that lead canonical criticism of Nikos Kazantzakis to worry a lot more about unraveling the author's personality and less about his own work, to which it addresses, often as an object for elucidating the aesthetic and philosophical project of the author. We propose to demonstrate further that the treatment to Kazantzakis and his work is not only due to the position of criticism, but rather shows a trend encouraged by the author, who finds in literature the meta-political action for personal redemption, and to work towards collective salvation in times of crisis.Universidad Estadual PaulistaUniversidad Estadual Paulist
Entre la autoría y la redención: abordajes críticos acerca de Nikos Kazantzakis
No full textThis article aims to reflect on the reasons that lead canonical criticism of Nikos Kazantzakis to worry a lot more about unraveling the author´s personality and less about his own work, to which it addresses, often as an object for elucidating the aesthetic and philosophical project of the author. We propose to demonstrate further that the treatment to Kazantzakis and his work is not only due to the position of criticism, but rather shows a trend encouraged by the author, who finds in literature the meta-political action for personal redemption, and to work towards collective salvation in times of crisis.Este artículo pretende reflexionar sobre las razones que llevan la crítica canónica de Nikos Kazantzakis a preocuparse mucho más por desentrañar la personalidad del autor, y menos por su propia obra, a la cual se dirige, a menudo, como objeto de elucidación del proyecto estético y filosófico del autor. Nos proponemos demostrar, además, que el tratamiento sobre Kazantzakis y su trabajo no es sólo debido a la posición de la crítica, sino más bien muestra una tendencia alentada por el autor, que encuentra en la literatura la acción meta-política para su redención personal, así como para trabajar en pro de la salvación colectiva en tiempos de crisis
Epistolario vital de un escritor: Nikos Kazantzakis. Antología de cartas, cuadernos, , escritos y anotaciones breves
No full textThe document and materials that have allowed us to couple a wide epistolary geography of Nikos kazantzakis, can be divided in three main sources, different in their emotional disposition and equally different in the gestation periods.
a) Epistolés pros Galatia, (Cartas a Galatea). Letters for Galatea, published later on in 1958, by Yanis Gudelis, of Difros editions. The set of letters include some 80, with some post cards, all dated between 1920 and 1923 (the marriage of Galatea an Kazantzakis had been formalized in 1911. They had met one year before). Kazantzakis writes to his first wife from the most varied latitudes.
b) Tetrakosia grámata tu Kazantzaki ston Prevelaki, (Cuatrocientas cartas de Kazantzakis a Prevelakis). Some four hundreds letters of Kazantzakis to his friend Prevelakis. They are in fact 442 epistoles of Kazantzakis and four (443- to 446) written by his second wife, Heleni.
The friendship between both writers was a great incentive. For that reason, their correspondence includes diverse periods when Kazantzakis was living in Greece and alroad .
c) Le Dissident Biographie de Nikos Kazantzaki, (El Disidente Biografía de Nikos Kazantzakis). Compilation published in 1968, by Heleni. To elaborate it, their author coud have other personal documents of Kazantzakis: notes, diaries and letters. The final summary includes diverse mails, with his family, friends, and Greek and foreigners intellectuals
"Geranos": danza y muerte en la "Odisea" de Nikos Kazantzakis
No full textThis paper analyses the way in which the "geranos" -crane or maze dance in Antiquity- is represented as a literary motif in Modern Greek literature, more specifically in Nikos Kazantzakis' Odyssey (1938). The study suggests, first, that a specific passage of the poem is based upon the documented links between dance and death in Ancient Crete; and, secondly, that in this passage the author employs a series of mechanisms which are close to the "mythical method'', a key feature of European ModernismEn este trabajo se analiza el modo en que el "geranos"-danza de la grulla o del laberinto en la Antigüedad- es representado como motivo literario en la literatura neohelénica, concretamente en la Odisea (1938) de Nikos Kazantzakis. El estudio sugiere, primero, que el autor se basó en las conexiones documentadas entre la danza y la muerte en la antigua Creta para la elaboración de un pasaje específico del poema y, segundo, que en este pasaje el autor emplea una serie de mecanismos cercanos al "método mítico", elemento característico del modernismo europe
Páthos i estètica ascètica en l’obra de Nikos Kazantzakis
No full textTreballs Finals de Grau d'Estudis Literaris, Facultat de Filologia, Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2020-2021. Tutor: Ernest Marcos Hierro[cat] Aquest treball aborda les obres Ascesi i Alexis Zorbás de Nikos Kazantzakis des de diferents angles per a poder observar com s’estructura el pensament de l’autor sobretot en relació als components d’espiritualitat, intel·lectualitat i el paper que hi juga el procés creatiu artístic. La lectura es construeix entorn del valor de l’estètica com un element no únicament artístic sinó sobre la idea d’una estètica vital que vincularia l’obra literària amb l’esquema de la lluita existencial que planteja Kazantzakis. La lectura de l’Ascesi para atenció a la representació de l’estructura que envolta la divinitat i el camí ascètic que el text planteja. Amb l’Alexis Zorbàs, la lectura se centra el valor de páthos i la vida apassionada així com en el valor del text literari, tant pel contingut representat com pel seu valor simbòlic.[eng] The aim of this work is to approach the novels Ascesi and Alexis Zorbas by the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis from different angles. The interest of these two works is to observe the thought of the author, in its relation to spirituality and intellectual elements and the role played by the creative process. This reading is maintained by the value of aesthetics which is seen as an element of life instead of just in an artistic sense. This aesthetic feeling is central to linking the literary work to Kazantzaki's existential thought. Reading Ascesi (Ασκιτική) focuses its attention on the representation of structures built around god and his initial path. The reading of Alexis Zorbas has an emphasis on the role that páthos – the passionate life – plays in the value of the literary work through its represented content and the symbolic value of the work
