Description
'Zorba the Greek' follows an unnamed young Greek intellectual who travels to Crete to take possession of a lignite mine and meets Alexis Zorba, an exuberant and unconventional older man. Fascinated by Zorba’s instinctive approach to life, the narrator employs him to manage the mine and gradually becomes drawn into his way of seeing the world. Their friendship unfolds amid work, love, loss, music and the harsh realities of village life, contrasting intellectual reflection with Zorba’s emphasis on direct experience. First published in 1946, the novel explores freedom, mortality, sensuality and the search for a life lived fully and without fear.
