The Cretan uprisings that followed, shaped the living conditions for Michalis Kazantzakis\u2019 family, Nikos\u2019 father. Young Nikos went to Naxos and then to Athens, where he studied French and law. He produced his first literary works before he graduated in 1906. One of them, the play \u201cDawn\u201d, won a prize and was staged in Athens. Kazantzakis, who was unknown until then, started to gain recognition!<\/p>\n<p>A year later, he went to Paris for further studies. There he met significant people and broadened his circle and knowledge. He came back to Greece with a stop in Italy. He pursued his literature and translated French, English, German, and ancient Greek texts for a living.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The trip to Mount Athos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42480\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42480\" style=\"width: 1100px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo.jpg.webp 1100w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42480 size-full webpexpress-processed\" src=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo.jpg\" alt=\"Travel to Mount Athos: A special place in the whole world\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/exploringgreece.tv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/taxidi-sto-agio-oros-enas-xechoristos-topos-se-olokliro-ton-kosmo-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\"><\/picture><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikos Kazantzakis lived some days, together with the poet Angelos Sikelianos, on Mount Athos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In 1914, after volunteering in the First Balkan War, he traveled with the poet Angelos Sikelianos to Mount Athos. They stayed in the monasteries for forty days &#8211; an experience that affected his view of religion. N. Kazantzakis read not only the Gospels but also Buddha and Dante and together with Sikelianos they dreamed of creating a new religion. It is known that in 1915, Kazantzakis wrote a book that is not preserved &#8211; it is assumed that it was about Mount Athos.<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, the Greek writer was in the Peloponnese for work and destiny made him meet George Zorbas. The worker he had hired was the inspiration for him to write, much later, &#8220;<strong>The Life and Times of Alexis Zorbas<\/strong> &#8220;. The following years found him, mainly, between Greece and France. Various political and social events made Kazantzakis travel often. He also spent time in Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Wherever he was, he never stopped writing.<\/p>\n<p>In 1923 he finished \u201c<strong>Ascetic<\/strong>\u201d, a book he had planned a year before. He continued his travels. He went to Egypt and Russia. For the Russians, he wrote articles in Pravda, travel stories, novels, and historical texts. In 1928 he altered the ending of \u201cAscetic\u201d by adding the chapter \u201c<strong>Silence<\/strong>\u201d. Two years later, Greek authorities threatened to prosecute him for atheism.
