Henri Bergson / Translated by Nikos Kazantzakis - Το γέλοιο / Le Rire / The Laughter - 1914

Rare early Greek edition of Henri Bergson’s Le Rire (The Laughter / Το γέλιο), Athens: Fexis, 1914, translated by Nikos Kazantzakis. In-4, 121 pages. As issued, edges uncut and untrimmed. Light foxing on the first page.

Kazantzakis’ sense of humor in his major works—such as Zorba the Greek—was shaped and deepened through his readings and translations of Bergson.

Scarce and highly desirable for collectors of Kazantzakis translations.
