A review by johnadonaghy
فقير الله القديس فرانسيس الإسيزي by نيكوس كازانتزاكيس, سهيل نجم, Nikos Kazantzakis

3.0

This is more Kazantzakis than St. Francis.

Francis is more a person struggling to transform his body into spirit than as a person responding in love to a loving God who transforms Francis.

It avoids a Manichean approach to Francis, including a section against the Cathars.

Read with care and a critical eye.
