Dear Visitor

Welcome to the website of Kazantzakis Publications, the Athens-based establishment, which publishes and distributes the works of Nikos Kazantzakis and of his wife, Eleni.

An abundance of information concerning Nikos Kazantzakis, Eleni, and Kazantzakis Publications circulates this very moment in the World Wide Web, a great deal of which, lacks accuracy and validity. This website was created with reliable and substantiated information, utilizing as its main sources his two principal biographers: Eleni N. Kazantzakis, his devoted wife and life companion, and Pandelis Prevelakis, his compatriot and fraternal friend, whose biographical timeline offers the most detailed and accurate biographical chronicle up to date.

Navigating through this website will introduce you to the life and work of Nikos Kazantzakis, the steadfast and uncompromising Man of Crete, the author regarded as one of the Greats of World Literature. It will also acquaint you with Kazantzakis Publications, the exclusive publishing house of the works of Nikos and Eleni Kazantzakis, in the Greek language.

The music in the Introduction is the musical adaptation of rhapsody A΄ from Nikos Kazantzakis’s Odyssey, composed by another Great Cretan, the musician Manos Mountakis. The website was designed by artist Christos Tsiakiris and it was translated in English by Niki P. Stavrou, and edited by Eleftheria Teleioni.

We hope that our website will prove valuable and user-friendly to the Student, the Scholar, the Researcher, the Reader, and each and every person who loves and appreciates the work of Nikos Kazantzakis.
