It has thus been necessary to rely mainly upon the impressions of non-Greeks, usually Englishmen orAmericans, who have lived and travelled in Greece., Greece has been the source of many values and traditions of Western civilization. The myths orancient,Greece have since provided inspirations for Western literature, art and music. The-experiment in democracy in ancient Athens and the unexcelled floweringof intellectual life have continued to astound the Western world even tothe present day. It is understandable then, that books aboit modernGreece must contend with ancient Greece. Writers want to show how modern Greece is a product of the past,-or else how it is not a product of thepast. In any case, those who write about Greece are puzzled and fascinatedby Greece and the Greeks. Novelists use Greece as asetting for exotic happenings.Anthro- pologists look for the roots of Western civilization amongremote tribes of Greece. Archaeologists dig in the hope of finding further cluesabout the past. Arid travellers interested in allthese aspects of Greece, write with an enthusiasm that intoxicates even those whohave never set foot in Greece. The fact remains, however, that with fewexceptions, this-bibliography gives a visitor's rather-than a Greetle pointof view. Thus, a less than whole picture of_Greece ispre'sented although many of the authors 4 have lived in Greece for many years and their opinions are as informed and valid as a foreigner's can be. Most of the books reviewed in this bibliography are easily available in public libraries. Rainbow in the Rock: The People of Rural Greece by Irwin T. Sanders Symbolically the rainbow is The Greek people and the rock, the land in which they live. This book is one of the most thorough books on Greece. &lthough it concentrates on rural Greece, the other areas are not neglected. The author deals with such aspects as liveli hood, courtship and marriage, superstitions and the impact of modernization on the villages of Greece. (Sandersj I. T. Rainbow in the Rock: The People of Rural Greece. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1962.) t. _Fkaumeli: Travels in Northern Greece by Patrick Leigh Fermor This book, like the preceding one,_is mwe than a travel book. The author, is a great Grecophile. He knows Greece and Greek history well. Here he introduces the reader to the primitive Sarakatsan nomads whose way of life has barely changed in thousands of years and to remote villages and monasteries. He also informs the reader about every pertinent aspect of Greek history. The book is filled with the many memorable characters he meets on his travels. It'is a thoroughly worthwhile book. ( Fermor, P. L. Roumeli: Travels in Northern Greece. London: John Murray, 1966.) Passport to Greece by Leslie Finer This book is an excellent introduction to Greece for the tourist. The first four chapters deal with Greek society -- politics, mores, superstitions? etc. The most interesting aspect of this section of the book is the continuity which the author points out between ancient and -4 to tips aboutwhat to modern Greece.

The author has not bee ken in by the "beauty of poverty," nevertheless, he shows clearly the dignity of these people despite their difficult way of life. (Andrews, K. TheFlight of Ikaros. London: Weidenfeld and Nicholson, 1959.) Athenian Adventure by C. P. Lee This book is definitely a tr_vel book. The author lived in Greece for a year. .Despite the title, the author travelled to otherparts of Greece besides Athens. He discusses language, love, politics, food, religion and most of all, the people he meets. Nevertheless, it is a fairly superficial book. As the author himself admits, he never really came tc, understand the Greeks. He is less enthusiastic than Henry Miller about embracing the simplicity of poverty (see Colossus of Maroussi in the MultiMediaPackage), yet he is taken in a little by it. (Lee, C. P. Athenian Adventure. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1957.) Good -bye isGoldin The author of this book gives his discovery of Greece the format of the Odyssey so that he becomes a modern day Odysseus retracing hismaster's steps. Although it is a somewhat artificial way of organizing his book and gives the reader a picture of what is_left of ancient Greecerather than a picture of modern Greece, it is reasonably interesting. (Golding, L. Goodbye to Ithaca. London: Hutchinson and Co., 1953.) 6 Bitter Lemons by Lawrence Durrell Cyprus is an independent country, however, alarge'proportion of the islandls inhabitants -are Greek; the other national group is Turkish. Periodically the desire for union with Greece on the partof creek Cypriots explodes. Of course, the politicians often manipulate these explosions for their own purposes. In any case, no study of present day Greece is complete without a consideration of the Cyprus question. Lawrence Durrell has spent many years.in Greece and lived on Cyprus during the troubled years of 1953-1956.This is a record of those' years. It is a description of the author's life on Cyprus, thelife of" the village in which he lived and of the villagers. Although the book transcends the political questions, reading it is an excellent wayto appreciate and understar'these questions. .. (Durrell, L. Bitter Lemons. 'London: Faber and Faber, 1957.) .0" ..._ THE PAST The Greek Experience by C. M. Bowra C. M. Bowra, the famous classical scholar has written a classic on Greek culture in an admirable attempt to analyse the sourcesof ancient Greek culture, a culture which has been the model for the West ever since. He analyses the Greek attitudes and outlook on government, politics and religion, and their unique capacity for experimentation. The book requires an interest, but is well worth the effort involved in reading it.

Candidate, The Saint Andrew The First Called Georgian University, Tbilisi, Georgia Abstract: Exactly a hundred years has passed since Nikos Kazantzakis,-a Greek writer, humanist and philosopher travelled in Georgia for the first time, but his impressions and emotions about travelling in Georgia three times, which are described in his creation, still remain as interesting things for the Greek researchers and historians. The journey of the writer coincided with the advent of the bold and historical hardship when Georgia gained three years of independence from the Russian Empire and subsequently became the victim of the annexation of Bolshevik Russia again. This is also the period when the history of Georgia and Greece coincided, because of historical cataclysms happened at that time in the region. This is the period when ethnic people of the Ponto origin who were expelled from Turkey gathered in Georgia, particularly in Batumi in anticipation of returning to their historical homeland,-Greece. Exactly Nikos Kazantzakis was turned out the first and the last, as a civil servant, head of the repatriation program of the Ponto Greeks and he was sent to Georgia by this mission. It was his first touch with Georgia and in spite of the two-week’s business trip which was full of responsibilities, the writer got fascinated by Georgia and had traveled twice for a long time in this country.

  • Christus Wordt Weer Gekruisigd Gratis Epub, Ebook
    CHRISTUS WORDT WEER GEKRUISIGD GRATIS Auteur: Nikos Kazantzakis Aantal pagina's: 448 pagina's Verschijningsdatum: 2016-03-18 Uitgever: Wereldbibliotheek EAN: 9789028426573 Taal: nl Link: Download hier Nikos Kazantzakis – Christus wordt weer gekruisigd Uitgeverij Wereldbibliotheek geeft opnieuw het werk van de Griekse schrijver Nikos Kazantzakis uit. Vorig jaar verscheen Leven en wandel van Zorbás de Griek , dit jaar verscheen zijn roman uit , Christus wordt weer gekruisigd in een nieuwe vertaling van Hero Hokwerda. Voor volgend jaar staat een nieuwe vertaling van Kapitein Michalis op de rol. Al deze drie boeken zijn verfilmd. Kazantkis schreef een omvangrijk literair oeuvre; in verloor hij met één stem verschil de Nobelprijs aan Albert Camus. Kort na de oorlog was Kazantkis politiek actief geweest als leider van een kleine sociaaldemocratische partij. Zijn doel was om de niet-communistische progressieve Grieken te verenigen, maar dat mislukte: zij kregen geen voet aan de grond en werden vermalen tussen de communisten en conservatieven. Teleurgesteld verliet Kazantzakis zijn land en vestigde zich in Zuid-Frankrijk waar hij tot zijn dood zou blijven wonen. Hij overleed uiteindelijk in Duitsland en is begraven op Kreta. Een bijbels verhaal In het rijke Griekse dorp Lykóvrysi hebben de notabelen kort na Pasen de dorpelingen aangewezen die het volgende jaar het passiespel moeten gaan spelen. Dat wordt eens in de zeven jaar opgevoerd en de rolverdeling is belangrijk. De dorpelingen zijn welvarend, hun landerijen leveren veel op; zij leiden een leven van eten, raki drinken, en luieren. Diezelfde avond komt er grote groep Griekse uitgemergelde vluchtelingen in het dorp aan, die door de Turken uit hun dorp zijn verjaagd.

  • Ascension to Spirituality According to N. Kazantzakis (Based on the Novel “The Last Temptation”)
    M.I. LAzARIdI (Kyrgyzstan) Ascension to Spirituality According to N. Kazantzakis (based on the novel “The Last Temptation”) Every man worthy of being called a son of man bears his cross and mounts his Golgotha. Many, indeed most, reach the first or second step, collapse pantingly in the middle of the journey, and do not attain the summit of Golgotha… Afraid of crucifixion, they grow fainthearted: they do not know that the cross is the only path to resurrection. There is no other path*. Nikos Kazantzakis The legendary Cretan Nikos Kazantzakis, a Greek writer, who was ranked among some critics to the category of the greatest writers of the XX century, lived a fantastic eventful life full of diverse interests and extraordinary efforts spent on physical and spiritual salvation of man. A writer, a philosopher, a traveler and a journalist N. Kazantzakis studied in Greece (Law), in France (where he attended lectures on the philosophy of Henri Bergson); the writer delved into the essence of all the world’s religions, studied the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Vladimir Lenin; being a journalist he traveled around the world (Germany, France, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, Israel, China, Japan, Russia (where he spent three years), and Mount Athos (where he had a 40 day sojourn). N. Kazantzakis was friends with Angelos Sikelianos, a wonderful Greek poet who (along with his wife E. Palmer) was at the forefront of the revival of the Delphic Games. In 1914 they journeyed to Greece historical sites, so rich in its ancient and Christian monuments. This close spiritual fellowship was useful for both of them in their not just only difficult, but the tragic fate: each of them made his way of the cross.

    The Politics of Culture: Historical Moments in Greek Musical Modernism Vol. I Ioannis Tsagkarakis Royal Holloway University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2013 Ion Zottos (Alexandria 1944 – Athens 2010) In Memoriam DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I have read and understood the regulations for Doctoral students as they are described in the Annual Handbook of the Music Department at Royal Holloway University of London concerning plagiarism. I undertake that all the material presented for examination is my own work and has not been written for me, in whole or in part, by another person. I also undertake that any quotation or paraphrase from the published or unpublished work of another individual has been acknowledged in the present thesis London 2013 Ioannis Tsagkarakis i ABSTRACT This thesis spotlights eleven formative moments or ‘events’ in the history of twentieth-century art music in Greece. They date from 1908 to 1979 and are ordered by two master narratives, the ‘Great Idea’ and the ‘European Idea’, concepts with multifarious implications for the making of contemporary Greece. The nature of the musical works presented during these events, the particular kind of reception they received, the debates they generated, and the role their composers hoped they would play in the construction of a contemporary Greek musical identity are some of the indicative issues that will be discussed, and always in relation to the prevailing political and social context. More specifically, I will try to show by way of these events how politics and culture were inextricably tied together. In some cases the events directly mirrored the political divisions and social tensions of their time, while in others they formed an easy (‘innocent’) prey to political agendas – indigenous and foreign – that were at some remove from matters aesthetic.
