Jacques Lacarriere, ‘a devotee of Greece’
LIFE 22.09.2005
OLGA SELLA
Jacques Lacarriere made his first trip to Greece in 1947, during the civil war, and his last visit to the land he loved so much was on September 4, when friends invited him to Tinos. Last Saturday, after a minor operation at a Paris hospital, Lacarriere died at the age of 79. He had expressed the wish to be cremated and have his ashes scattered in the Aegean. An intellectual, translator and writer, he was a lifelong friend of Greece. The majority of his books were inspired by classical Greece and its myths and he also translated into French the work of many prominent contemporary Greek writers, among them George Seferis, Yiannis Ritsos, Stratis Tsirkas, Nikos Gatsos, Costas Tachtsis, Titos Patrikios and Andreas Frangias. Most of his books are available in Greek translation from Hadzinikoli publishers, the most popular of them being «L'Ete grec» («Greek Summer») and «Dictionnaire amoureux de la Grece» («The Erotic Dictionary of Greece»). A book of his interviews is due out shortly from the same publisher. «One of his latest plans was to write 'The Erotic Dictionary of the Mediterranean,'» publisher Ioanna Hadzinikoli told Kathimerini. His most recent publication in Greece was in 2003, when Olkos publishers brought out his «Nicosia: The Dead Zone,» translated by Voula Louvrou. The author, accompanied by a soldier, had managed to visit the Green Line in Nicosia long before it was open to Greek and Turkish Cypriots. «I asked myself where I was exactly. It was a museum, but just what kind of museum? A museum of death? A botanical garden? A museum of toys? An architecture museum? It was all of those together and we can study many important things in ruins,» he said then in an interview with Kathimerini. Lacarriere lived at his family home in Burgundy with his second wife Silvia Lipa and their 15-year-old son. Commenting on the death of Lacarriere, Prime Mister Costas Karamanlis said: «Greece bids farewell to a true friend, a tireless ambassador for Greek culture around the world. Lacarriere incarnated the perennial Greek spirit in every aspect of his life. He was an ardent devotee of Greece.»

Jacques Lacarrière
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the writer. For the ice hockey player, see Jacques Lacarrière (ice hockey).
Jacques Lacarrière (French: [lakaʁjɛʁ]; 2 December 1925 – 17 September 2005) was a French writer, born in Limoges. He studied moral philosophy, classical literature, and Hindu philosophy and literature. Professionally, he was known as a prominent critic, journalist, and essayist.
Contents
A passionate admirer of ancient Greece and its mythology, Lacarrière wrote about it extensively. His essay L'été grec (Greek Summer) was an immense popular success. His classical works Maria of Egypt and Dictionnaire amoureux de la Grèce (Dictionary for one who loves Greece) were also successes.
Of interest to ethnographers and ecologists is his Chemin faisant: Mille kilomètres à pied à travers la France (1974, On the way: One thousand kilometers by foot across France). It was based on his walking across France in 1971, when he kept to small roads and byways, stopping at villages. Beginning in August, he traveled from Saverne in the Vosges, reaching Leucate in November, which is located in the Corbières. It was reprinted by Fayard in 1997 with a postscript entitled "Memory of roads," and addition of selected letters from readers. It was released again in 2014, again by Fayard.
Lacarrière's 1973 literary essay, Les Gnostiques, is well respected for its insights into the early Christian religious movement of Gnosticism. The writer had met English author Lawrence Durrell in 1971, who had been studying some Gnostic texts since the early 1940s. Durrell featured Gnosticism as a plot element in the novels of his The Avignon Quintet (1974 to 1985). He also wrote a "Foreword" to the 1974 English translation of Lacarrière's essay.
For the whole of his work, in 1991 Lacarrière was awarded le Grand Prix de l'Académie française (the Great Prize of the French Academy).
He died in Paris on 17 September 2005, following complications from orthopedic surgery. His body was cremated and his ashes scattered in Greece, in the waters off the island of Spetses.
