Saint Francis by Nikos Kazantazkis recreates the story of Francis of Assisi in an historical novel of medieval Italy. In it Kazantzakis “has tried to show Saint Francis as a person, tempted by the life that is offered to him and the comforts of his home, but driven by his own restless spirit to rise above the level of his fellow men and to assert his belief in goodness and submission. Kazantzakis’ Francis is not the calm and Undisturbed saint of legend, preaching to the animals. He is a man, tempted, weary, but searching for spiritual peace in a world of evil and war.” □
