Product Information

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 - his 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.

  • Better than the movie

    The only book that I've read over and over again. From the moment the story begins you can feel the rain beating against the window. The author captures the place, weather and people perfectly. Instantly you fall in love with Zorba and wish you were there. This is so different to the movie. In fact, if the movie was identical to the book, it would have been banned.

  • Disappointed

    After reading the synopsis I was looking forward to reading this tale of the ‘swashbuckling hero,Zorba!’ What a let down. I only read it to the end to see if it got any better, it didn’t!
