The Fratricides - Nikos Kazantzakis

Internecine strife in a village in the Epirus during the Greek civil war of the late 1940s. Many of the villagers, including Captain Drakos, the son of the local priest, Father Yanaros, have taken to the mountains and joined the rebels. It is Holy Week and, with murder, death and destruction every day, Father Yanaros feels that he himself is bearing the sins of the world.
