Hailed as a masterpiece by critics worldwide, "The Last Temptation of
Christ" is a monumental reinterpretation of the Gospels by one of the
giants of modern literature. Nikos Kazantzakis, renowned author of
"Zorba the Greek, " brilliantly fleshes out the story of Christ's
Passion, giving it a dynamic spiritual freshness. Kazantzakis's Jesus is
gloriously divine, yet earthy and human, as he travels among peasants
and is tempted by their comfortable life. Provocatively illuminating
ever dimension of the Gospels, "The Last Temptation of Christ" is an
exhilarating modern classic.
