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.

A life altering experience

It’s so beautiful a tale that you wish that it were true! He dares you to cut that string of sanity - that binds you to the comfort of a predictable life - laughs at your timidity and you laugh with him - our friend Zorba!!

This book soothed my spirit.

I am amazed by the ability of such writers to say so much through their books. Buddha word suffice my spiritual quests, and now that he has woven a story including the teachings of the Buddha makes it even better. He has done justice in every way possible.

I am becoming greedy to make every writer's experience my own. So I am reading books like a maniac. I hope this is not an escape from my monotonous life. I wish I could control this irresistible hunger for books. Just like the Nikos said, " I want to chew all the books and then spit it in my book and get rid of it."

Not everyone can relish books like these because you have to develop a spiritual quest to understand the content shared in this book thoroughly. This book soothed my spirit.
