About this listen
A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

What a great classic story.
I was hooked at page 1 and relished in every minute. When I finished listening, I started it again and loved it even more. Better than the movie by the same name, but I loved the movie too.

Great story.
Glad i listened. I saw the film with Anthony Quinn years ago but this has so much more depth. By the end it had me rethinking my own approach to life…

So many layers
What a strange and enthralling story. The narration really added to the characters and made it come alive.
It would be possible to summarise the story in a few sentences on a superficial level but, it has so many layers. It is an amazingly well written book.

Why listen to this book?
Read this book and be transported to a tiny village in Crete, early in the 20th century, where you will learn all about life, its meanings, its joys, and its unfathomable complexities. Slow to start and really get into the story, but once it gets going, the writing paints indelibly the story as it unfolds. The "sayings" of Zorba are not to be missed by anyone who has every wondered about the meaning of life. A book I cannot fault.

A masterpiece of writing way ahead of its time!
Nikos Kazantzakis is a masterful storyteller and this book is no exception. He weaves as such an endearing account of Zorba and the narrator bring to mind concepts that we are still grappling with to this day.
