“Zorba the Greek” by Nikos Kazantzakis

Details

Join us in April to discus “Zorba the Greek”, a classic novel by Nikos Kazantzakis that celebrates the raw energy of life, passion, and freedom. The story follows an intellectual narrator who hires Alexis Zorba, a larger-than-life, free-spirited Greek man, to help him run a lignite mine in Crete. Through their experiences, Zorba teaches his employer to embrace the unpredictability of life, throwing aside overthinking and instead living with zest, laughter, and a love for the present moment.

This novel is a philosophical yet deeply human tale, exploring themes of existentialism, joy, suffering, and the pursuit of happiness. With its unforgettable characters and profound life lessons, Zorba the Greek is a book that stays with readers long after they turn the last page.

Don’t miss this chance to explore one of the most passionate books ever written!
