### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A microcosm of 20th century conflicts
  

*by R***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 24, 2020*

Fratricides takes us to a small Greek village that serves as a microcosm of much that happened all around the world in the 20th century as Communism and Socialism swept through.Sometimes through the eyes of a detached narrator, sometimes through father Yánaros' - an indomitable Greek Orthodox Priest that is often indistinguishable from Zorba - we learn how the nationalist side with their praise of country and God, and the rebels, with their romantic and naive view that they could shape a new, better world after they razed the old one to the ground justified the carnage that killed so many of their neighbors.Father Yánaros wants to know if the rebels are right in seeking for justice through revenge and for freedom through submission, but most importantly he wants to reunify Castello, his village, and he wants to reunify Greece itself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great, thoughtful novel
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 11, 2016*

This is the fourth Kazantzakis novel I've read, and each time I read one it becomes my new favorite of his. The Fratricides is no exception. If you are at all familiar with his writing but have not picked up this novel, I recommend you do so. If you are unfamiliar with his writing, I suggest starting with Zorba the Greek or this novel before tackling the more complicated books like his Odyssey sequel or The Last Temptation of Christ. I will say that the ending of the Fratricides is somewhat sudden, and depending on the reader's worldview could be seen as extremely nihilistic, or alternatively as hopeful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written and gained understanding
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2016*

Required reading but I ended up enjoying the book.  Very sad content but it helped me gain a greater understanding of the Greek civil war and fight against communism.
