{"product_id":"9780927379120","title":"The Terrestrial Gospel of Nikos Kazantzakis (Revised edition): Will the Humans Be Saviors of the Earth?","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eLove 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.\u003cbr\u003eHaving 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 \"décor\" 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.","brand":"Zorba Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47020134334704,"sku":"9780927379120","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780927379120_p0.jpg?v=1763859869","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780927379120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
