Travelling

Nikos Kazantzakis from an early age until his death did not stop travelling to Europe, Africa and Asia. He began recording his travel impressions in 1907 in Paris as a correspondent of Athenian newspapers, and by 1946, a year first published in Greece the novel Life and State of Alexis Zorba, was known to the Greek public mainly for his travel texts.
