Jacket design by Dick Dodge. A sharp example. 'Zorba the Greek' is the tale of a young Greek intellectual who ventures to escape his bookish life with the aid of the boisterous and mysterious Alexis Zorba. "Mr. Kazantzakis has breathed into his prose all the warm airs of the Mediterranean, its light, its color, its sadness. But, more surprising, he has created in Zorba one of the greatest characters of modern fiction. The novel reflects Greek exhilaration at its best. Zorba, pure in feeling, makes havoc of monks, scholarship and the life of withdrawal" (London Times Literary Supplement). The novel was adapted into the successful 1964 film of the same name, directed by Michael Cacoyannis and starring Anthony Quinn as Zorba, which won awards for Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography at the Academy Awards and Best Actor with the National Board of Review.

On the other hand it is the story of God and man, The Devil and the Saints; the struggle of men to find their souls and purpose in life and it is about love, courage and faith. Zorba has been acclaimed as one of the truly memorable creations of literaturea character created on a huge scale in the tradition of Falstaff and Sancho Panza. His years have not dimmed the gusto and amazement with which he responds to all life offers him, whether he is working in the mine, confronting mad monks in a mountain monastery, embellishing the tales of his life or making love to avoid sin. Zorba's life is rich with all the joys and sorrows that living brings and his example awakens in the narrator an understanding of the true meaning of humanity.
