An account of the narrator's (English author, Basil) intimate year with lively 60ish-year-old lover, fighter, adventurer, musician, chef, miner, storyteller, dancer, Zorba. Together on Crete with Zorba managing the lignite mine that Basil is financing in an effort to bond with working-class men and their honest way of life. Tale of a constrained, bookish intellect and a man of magnificent vitality filled with joy in sensual pleasures, mysteries & suprises of life on this earth. The novel, described by Time Magazine in 1953, is, in essence, "nearly plotless but never pointless". Adapted, 1964, to film with Anthony Quinn bringing to life the enchanting, exurberant, peasant Zorba who did live life to the fullest. Strong, shelfworn copy.
