Toda Raba.
KAZANTZAKIS, Nikos.
Item Number: 4697
Athens: Thipros, 1956.
First Greek edition. Octavo. Signed by Nikos Kanzantzakis. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with a chip to the foot of the spine and some small closed tears. The English translation was not published until 1964. Uncommon, especially in the original dust jacket.
Most of the early apologists for the Russian Revolution scribbled down their dreams and enthusiasms and glossed over the cruelties they saw with their own eyes. One who did not was the great Greek novelist Nikos Kazantzakis, who toured Soviet Russia in the 1920s and put down his impressions in novelistic form. Translated for the first time into English, Toda Raba shows that Kazantzakis overlooked nothing: the ruthless exploitation, the sterile wrangling over doctrine, the starvation, the basement executions.
