Travels III. England

Summary information

Kazantzakis' impressions from his travels in England. The book was written on Aegina in 1940. Editions from 1958 onwards include an afterword entitled "The Fortunes of an Empire"; which had appeared in Nea Estia (vol. 56, issue 653, 15.9.1954), recording Kazantzakis' revised view of England in the light of British policy on the Cyprus question. A note written by Kazantzakis in a copy of the 1941 edition, heavily criticizing British foreign policy, has been added to all editions since 1986 (edited by Patroklos Stavrou).
