Description
The Fratricides by Nikos Kazantzakis is set against the backdrop of the Greek civil war in the late 1940s. In a small village, internecine strife and murder become all too common as many residents join the communist rebels. As Holy Week approaches, one man feels the weight of his own guilt. The conflict has taken its toll on the community, leaving Father Yanaros to bear the sins of the world. The lines between good and evil are blurred, and the once-peaceful village is torn apart by violence and destruction. This powerful novel explores the human cost of war and the complexities of morality in a time of great turmoil.
