This moving fable sees a young Greek writer set out to Crete to
claim a small inheritance. But when he arrives, he meets Alexis
Zorba, a middle-aged Greek man with a zest for life. Zorba has had
a family and many lovers, has fought in the Balkan wars, has lived
and loved - he is a simple but deep man who lives every moment
fully and without shame. As their friendship develops, he is
gradually won over, transformed and inspired along with the reader.
Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis' most popular and enduring
novel, has its origins in the author's own experiences in the
Peleponnesus in the 1920s. His swashbuckling hero has legions of
fans across the world and his adventures are as exhilarating now as
they were on first publication in the 1950s. 'There can never be
any doubt that Kazantzakis was the possessor of genius.' Sunday
