Zorba the Greek - Nikos Kazantzakis

 Zorba is larger than life, with a lust for life, with an emphasis on lust. The first part is good with development of the characters. Natural beauty, resourcefulness, loyalty are all themes. The last part is somber with revenge murder, the lingering death of a main character, the complete failure of the major project, and the arson of a monastery. I found this sad and disappointing .
