Synopsis
Set before the start of the First World War, this moving fable sees a young English 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, the Englishman is gradually won over, transformed and inspired along with the reader.

Format:Taschenbuch
In approximately 1914, before World War I, the narrator, a young cerebral writer who wants to become rooted in the earth and physical labor, rents a lignite mine on the beautiful island of Crete. As he is about to depart, he meets a much older, experienced, and very earthy Alexis Zorba, whom he hires to be his foreman and cook. What he learns, and we through him, may change your life. First, a warning: to appreciate this amazing book, one must be able to look past the misogyny and sexism of life on Crete in 1914, and focus on the love and relationship of two men. Zorba plays the santuri, has had a family and many lovers, has fought in the Balkan Wars, has lived and loved-his knowledge is rooted in love, suffering, sweat, and blood. He is a simple but deep man who lives life without shame, bares himself, has no guile or guise, and lives every moment fully--not only his joy, but his tears, his compassion, his anger, his hunger, his thoughts and his questions. His character is perceptively portrayed by the first person narrator who is a contemplative who gradually comes to see the poverty of a life always filtered through philosophical, religious, or cultural judgments. He immediately appreciates Zorba's wonder at life, Zorba's music and dance, and the way Zorba sees the same old things every day as if new. Zorba is life itself, a fleeting moment with a discrete beginning and final end. The narrator especially learns that by holding on to his safety and security he has sacrificed much by failing to live to the fullest like Zorba. The book is absolutely beautifully written, makes you cry at the beauty and wonder of being alive, makes you ache for loved ones who are gone, and cry at our ultimate fate, death, in the face of which we must live with ever more Zorba-like zest.
Format:Taschenbuch
I will make myself a fool in front of the public and admit that I , a grown up man, cried at the end of the book.
That is the strength of Kazantakis, his humanism, his pure and honest writting and his wisdom. He is one of the most important writters-philosophers-humanists-intellectuals of history and he was denied the Nobel Prize only because of his political beliefs.
This book will make you wiser and it will teach you lessons that you will carry along your entire life. This is Kazantzakis.
Format:Taschenbuch
Read it for its spirituality, read it for its thought-provocation, but most of all, read it for its joy. "Zorba the Greek" is an inherently and unendingly positive book that will make any reader want to reap all the rewards of one's life. Mandatory for beatniks and hipsters, intellectuals and philosophers, drop-outs and junkies, professionals and brokers alike.

The serious hedonism of Alexis Zorba
'Zorba the Greek' is a highly philosophical novel with very little plot. The narrative voice is that of an unnamed, bookish man of 35, and it is mainly engaged in contrasting his... Lesen Sie weiter...

Classic contemporary novel
I came across this book in class thinking it would suck. The Zorba character, although vivacious & funny, was at the same time sexist and machoistic. Lesen Sie weiter...
