Abstract

This article traces Kazantzakis’ attitudes towards America in works from the pre- and post-war periods. In doing so, it reveals his growing interest in visiting the country or even settling there for an extended period. The pretexts for such a journey were diverse and variously described by the writer as a means to ‘renew his vision’, to find a secure place to work, and to launch endeavours intended to ‘save’ Greece from afar. Though Kazantzakis’ antipathy to ‘Americanization’ remained, he was more prepared over time to tolerate these defects, while becoming increasingly sensible to the pull of other demands and attractions.

卡赞扎基斯与美国

这篇文章追溯了卡赞扎基斯在战前和战后时期的作品中对美国的态度。这样做表明，他越来越有兴趣访问这个国家，甚至在那里长期定居。这种旅行的借口多种多样，作者将其描述为一种“更新视野”、寻找安全工作场所以及发起旨在从远方“拯救”希腊的努力的手段。尽管卡赞扎基斯对“美国化”的反感仍然存在，但随着时间的推移，他已经做好了容忍这些缺陷的准备，同时对其他需求和吸引力的吸引力也越来越敏感。
