Lily and snake | Канцтовары для офиса и дома

Nikos Kazantzakis began his literary career with the publication under the pseudonym of Karma nirvamioude a desperate love spell: lily and snake, first published in Athens in 1906. Written at the age of twenty-two, it was inspired by Kathleen Forde, A young Irish girl from whom Kazantzakis fell madly in love while receiving English lessons from her and reading to the heard poems by Byron and Keats. With her she consummated her love at the age of 19, when they fled together to the summits of Mount Psiloritis (Ida), lying the two as the shepherds of an ancient idiolium on the soil of the Hermitage of the Holy Cross, under the hieratic and atonite look of the icons of Christ and the Virgin. Impetuous, obsessive, recalcitrant at times, of young premurous and agitated parataxis, the play tormented him all his life. At his seventy years he was delivering all the remaining specimens to the fire. But he kept telling her among his works, including her in the anils for her candidacy for the Athens Academy (1945) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1946).
