Zorba the Greek

And since then, he was not written for me again, and once again, our events separated us terribly, and the world continued to sway like a wounded man, like a drunken man, and friendships and personal worries faded away. I often talked to my friends about that great soul, and we admired the confident, arrogant gait, while the cloak of reason, for leaving moderation in walking. The spiritual peaks that we need years of hard struggle to climb, Zorba falsely reaches them in a single leap. And we used to say at that time: "Zorba is a big soul," or when he surpasses these peaks, we say: "Zorba is crazy." And thus, time passed, poisoned with the sweetness of memories, and the other shadow, the shadow of my friend, also weighed heavily on my soul, and he did not leave me because I am the one who wants to leave him. Two friends and a spiritual harmony that unites them, they meet despite the distances, and one of them remains longing for the other through the ether. In philosophical atmospheres, the famous Greek writer Kazantzakis elaborates in narrating the events of the story of Zorba, who embodied the philosophy of life, which Kazantzakis translated into poetic phrases and meanings reflecting his poetic inspiration with epic grandeur, as well as his cultural inclusiveness. The novelist expressed himself in this novel; he drew his material from ancient myths or from the current folklore of his country. His novel was admired by everyone without distinction, and it became one of the great world masterpieces and still is. Therefore, it was adapted into a film titled "Zorba."
