The first book I read this year was
Nikos Kazantzakis' Freedom and Death (Original title
Kapetan Mihalis). I adored it. Fierce Captain Michael in Crete of 1889 swears not to laugh until Crete is free from the Turks. A man loyal to his beliefs ends up to fight all by himself against the enemy.
The reason I read it was because with the Drama team we had an invitation by the
International Nikos Kazantzakis Friends Company to present the book. That took place on the 21st March, on the International Poetry Day.
We were again packed and every one enjoyed our presentation and the
tsikoudia they tasted afterwards along with some great Cretan live music.
