I was amazed to read that Kazantzakis had money problems, that his books never made him anything. He even got excommunicated for writing "Last Temptation". Its a strange and unfair world.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-66797797699802998332009-07-16T09:26:00.577-04:002009-07-16T09:26:00.577-04:00Garce, you are an overachiever to the highest degr...Garce, you are an overachiever to the highest degree, you know that?

He's best known, of course, for Zorba and Last Temptation, but Report sums up his life and thinking over a 50 year span. <br /><br />He lost the Nobel Prize to Camus by one vote.Alicia Night Orchidhttp://www.anightorchid.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-4280080656184930332009-07-15T18:21:11.115-04:002009-07-15T18:21:11.115-04:00Hi Karin!

After all, I was the one who had turned her away, she didn't owe me anything. You don't know what you have till its gone. I still have dreams about her at night, because I think she symbolizes something to me on some deep level.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-44084427912387991852009-07-15T18:16:53.257-04:002009-07-15T18:16:53.257-04:00Hi Heather!

I hope the opportunity will come some day to be friends again, but her life has moved on. I think she's happy. It's a comfort to know when things have turned out well for someone.<br /><br />By all means read "The Last Temptation of Christ". Its a very powerful book, especially when you find out what the title means. If I had three wishes one might be to be the author of that book. If you ever want to discuss it let me know. I'm right here.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-45010807164669929342009-07-15T18:13:53.524-04:002009-07-15T18:13:53.524-04:00Hi Molly!
