To the historical conscience of the peoples of the European world, the fact of feeling oneself to be part of the land where one has been born, a landscape of which one is a part, is a very important anthropological issue, an event which leaves big tracks in the imaginary of its inhabitants. Kazantzakis is a Greek who keeps a personal and very vivid affective patrimonium with his mother island, Crete, to the point that many times that land of the Aegean occupies the place of a whole spiritual fatherland in the Cretan author. In Kazantzakis' texts, Crete has enough force to become an important point of support for his visions and reflections. These aspects are commented here.
