About This Book
**From kazantzaki.gr, website of the Nikos Kazantzakis museum:**
*Plot*
Having enjoyed what life has had to offer him, a pleasure and beauty-worshipping artist is gradually overcome by the idea of death. He decides that his death, just like his life, will be connected with carnal love and beauty. He therefore calls on his mistress and spends a night of passion with her in a night full of flowers; in the morning they are found dead of suffocation, while the room is permeated with the scent of the flowers.
*Writing history*
Written in 1905, the novel was inspired by Kazantzakis' affair with Kathleen Forde, the "Irish lass". It appeared in print with a dedication by the author "To my Toto"
