Zorba the Greek, by: Nikos Kazantzakis

Zorba a character and a symbol stop being a face and features to become a sign. A sign whose interpretive meaning is a reference leading to a reference, to indicate a reference and the chain continues... a character that overflowed everyone and escaped the prison of the novel in its vastness to become a symbol for the marginalized for those who learn from life, a philosopher who teaches the philosopher his wisdom, the experiences of living and the human existence battleground. Zorba's dance ended as a constitution for the universe, a vision that mocks the knowledge that extends over the world and transcends the earth, and revolts against a situation in which one is either a servant or a master, breaking every mold to come to you at every moment with a new lesson summarized as: nothing is above the loud voice of life.
