Kazantzakis’s “Askitiki” a number 5 bestseller!

I was browsing the online bookstore Greekbooks and came across a surprise. On the books page was a link to the store’s top 5 bestsellers.

Yes, OK, Mr Dan Brown was there at Number 4, but that was no surprise. The surprise was what was listed as the Number 5 bestseller…

Number 5 was Nikos Kazantzakis’s Askitiki, his lesser known philosophical work. I found that such a pleasing discovery.

Here’s a link to a Kimon Friar translation.
