  It took a while to get into but I can safely say that i enjoyed every page of this gem of a book, it's a masterpiece. The contrast in personalities of the two protagonists gives the meditation a sense of completeness; their heart-rending friendship played out on the stunning island of Crete.
  Every man can learn from and relate to Zorba's tales and every woman will better understand the nature of masculinity after reading this beautiful story of companionship, the nature of man and patriotism. A cracking read!

  I read it as I came back to Italy from my holidays aroun Greece: it was a wonderful way not to feel nostalgia of the places i had visited! Funny and pleasant!

  Zorba the Greek

  My all time favorite, what a wonderful journey about balancing the life of the intellect and the life of the senses. It should be re-read every few years.

  "How simple a thing is happiness: a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea. All that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple heart."
