The Terrestrial Gospel is an anthology of passages selected from
various books by Kazantzakis, centering on Nature and the workers
of the soil. A powerful and poetic work that raises environmental
awareness and calls us to compassionate action, the book contains
new translations from the Greek originals to English, some original
poems by Maskaleris, a Preface by Jean-Michel Cousteau, and an
illuminating essay by ecologist, author, and film-maker, Michael
Tobias. Love supports survival... Nikos Kazantzakis' love of Nature
inspired him to write beautiful hymns to Her and to the human life
rooted in the soil - as the selections for this Anthology movingly
demonstrate. Having grown up on the fascinating island of Crete -
close to trees, animals and wild peasants - he absorbed and
retained the terrestrial life in his soul, and made it bloom in
brilliant descriptions throughout all of his works. These poetic
tributes are not mere "decor" but a vital source of ever
regenerative human life, biological growth, individual spirit and
ecological community. It is a poetic vision that is at once
communal, and global, from one of the 20th century's greatest
writers.
