The story of Zorba, a lusty Greek peasant with an infectious love of life, is told through the eyes of Basil, a shy young British writer who meets Zorba when he journeys to the island of Crete. The escapades of the grizzled old ruf nan and his keen sense of romantic adventure soon hold Basil spellbound.
