Description: "England is an extraordinarity perceptive account of Kazantzakis' confrontation with a country he admired, feaed and marveled at. What he sought was a people the opposite of himself — pragmatic where he was spiritual, vithdrawn where he was exuberant, disciplined and fond of hierarchy where he was unrestrained and anarchic. At the same he set out to solve the riddle of how a people which seemed to him, at first meeting, so cold and unemotional could produce a Shakespeare,. Written just at the outbreak of the Second World War, England is perhaps the most moving all Kazantzakis' travel books. In Spain, Journey to the Morea and Japan—China, he was seeking something he already knew, a reflection of himself in different landscapes. In England, he is examining something which he feels to be foreign, a society which fascinates him in its rigid class structure and sense of history, but which also repels him in its lack of spontaneity and its fear of emotion.
