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.

Cervantes and Dostoevsky combined in 20th C Greece
Cervantes and Dostoevsky combined in 20th C Crete, made richer by Guidall's narration. I loved the movie, but after 30 years, I had forgotten much. I do know this, however: the philosophical depth of the book took me by surprise. If you've listened to Guidall's reading of Quixote, the Sancho Panza resonance is sublime.

struggled to get through this one
this book is quite deep and perhaps reading this as a physical book might help. I found my attention would wander quite a bit when listening and I struggled to get through it.
