Zorba the Greek

De: Nikos Kazantzakis

Narrado por: George Guidall

A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

A Guide on How To Live

If you have ever struggled to escape the straight jacket of reason, study the example of Zorba the Greek. Courageous, bold, and shrewd, Zorba mastered the art of living passionately without being ruled by his passions.

The sympathetic reader will give Zorba his due when he claimed at the end of his life that men like him should live a thousand years.

George Guidall gives a masterly narration of this classic tale.

One of the best books I've come across in a while

Not only is this a quaint and often times amusing story, but offers to teach us a thing or few about our own nature. I'm glad I took the suggestion. I'll definitely be reading this one again.

Best Narration of Any Audible Book I've Ever Heard

Two philosophers opine about the world, life, religion, love, etc. One is an old man who has traveled far and wide personally experiencing life to its fullest. The other is a younger man who determines his theories of life, death and nearly everything else based primarily on the books he's read. The two men meet and become fast friends. I thoroughly enjoyed the book in so many different ways and for so many different reasons. The narration is the best I've ever experienced in an audio title. Highly recommended.

Amazing book, stoic and funny

George Guidall brings the characters to life each with a different voice and each narrated with their own accent.

This book is philosophical, stoic to be exact, talking about different subjects of life as poverty, friendship, love, death...
At the same time, it is very funny and gives different perspectives in life.

Imaginative

1 of the best reads I've heard

Wonderful!

The narration, the turn of phrasing, the character development, all came together in this beautiful story. Highly recommended.

loved it!

reminded me of the odyssey, slow at first, but really became a very interesting read!

Beautiful

The story is a painting of life…honest but beautiful.The narration was excellent making the journey more memorable

Inspiring

beautiful story and performance. life was wasted with pens, books, papers, and theories. it is time to live, time for being rather than doing.

A deep, powerful friendship

The story of the friendship between two men, one in his 60s and one in his 30s. The life lessons each one teaches the other changes them both and connects them throughout their lives.
