Zorba the Greek is a renowned novel by Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis, first published in 1946. Widely considered a masterpiece of modern Greek literature, it has been translated into numerous languages. The story follows the transformative friendship between an unnamed intellectual writer and Alexis Zorba, a larger-than-life character whose passion, exuberance, and unconventional wisdom contrast sharply with the narrator's introspective and philosophical nature.
