( ) > Babelio : https://www.babelio.com/livres/Kazantzakis-Le-Pauvre-dAssise/229387 > APPELLE DES RÉSERVES. — Il ne faut pas prendre cette oeuvre de Nikos Kazantzaki pour autre chose qu’elle n’est : c’est un roman brodé autour de la vie du Poverello et non pas une biographie de saint François d’Assise. A la regarder dans cette perspective, on peut mieux accepter toutes les fantaisies que l’auteur prend avec l’histoire, et on est plus à l'aise pour en admirer la valeur d’art et de poésie. Les pages splendides abondent, qui mériteraient d’être citées. Ce que l’on accepte moins que les libertés romanesques ce sont les fantaisies que l’auteur prend avec le dogme lorsque, par la bouche de François, il prédit le salut de Satan et présente l’Enfer comme l’antichambre du Paradis (p. 321). | Kazantzakis (Nikos) Le Pauvre d'Assise. Traduit du grec par Gisèle Prassinos et Pierre Fridas. Paris, Plon {1957}. 371 p. 20.5cm. (Coll. Feux croisés - Ames et terres étrangères). (R. L.) —Lectures, octobre 1957 Like The Last Temptation of Christ, Saint Francis is a fictionalized biography of a widely venerated Christian figure: Francis of Assisi, whose renunciation of his young man’s life of leisure and founding of a religious order dedicated to living in poverty and sharing the Gospels with all living things profoundly influence the ways in which Christians the world over worship and give service to their god even today. Recounted in Nikos Kazantzakis’s striking prose through the eyes of the saint’s brother, Leo, the life of Saint Francis shines in these pages as a heroic example of inspirational leadership and boundless love for God and all His creatures. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Nikos Kazantzakis was born in 1883 in Herakleion on the island of Crete. During the Cretan revolt of 1897 his family was sent to the island of Naxos, where he attended the French School of the Holy Cross. From 1902 to 1906 he studied law at Athens University. He worked first as a journalist and throughout a long career wrote several plays, travel journals and translations. His remarkable travels began in 1907 and there were few countries in Europe or Asia that he didn't visit. He studied Buddhism in Vienna and later belonged to a group of radical intellectuals in Berlin, where he began his great epic The Odyssey, which he completed in 1938. He didn't start writing novels until he was almost 60 and completed his most famous work, Zorba the Greek, in 1946. Other novels include Freedom and Death (1953) and The Last Temptation (1954), which the Vatican placed on the Index. Return to Greco, an autobiographical novel, was published in 1961.Nikos Kazantzakis finally settled in Antibes with his second wife, and died there from leukaemia in October 1957. He is buried at Herakleion, where the epitaph on his tomb reads: 'I hope for nothing. I fear nothing. I am free'. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
