Zorba the Greek - Nikos Kazantzaki

Nikos Kazantzakis wrote his famous novel “Zorba”, which tells about an intellectual who tried to escape from the hell of knowledge and met by chance with “Zorba”, the simple illiterate man, who taught the protagonist what he had not learned between the pages of books.

The novel is very rich and great, and Kazantzakis was able, with his usual genius, to make the reader live in the events of the novel as if he were one of its heroes. It remains to know that the character “Zorba” is a real person that the writer met on one of his travels.
