The protean Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis retells the story of the most beloved of saintsâFrancis of Assisi, who permanently changed the way people think about following God. Drawing on the traditional stories of the saintâs life, Kazantzakis infuses the tale with a fervent vision that is uniquely his own, highlighting the saintâs 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.
