Drawing on the traditional stories of the saintâ€™s life, Kazantzakis infuses the tale with a fervent vision that is uniquely his own, highlighting the saintâ€™s heroic single-mindedness in the face of extreme physical and spiritual suffering. He portrays the saint as a great lover and inspiring leader who embraced radical poverty in the face of many obstacles and temptations while achieving a way of life marked by epic generosity.
