| Summary: | Adopting a pluralist approach, this book presents a detailed analysis of Zorba the Greek (1946), by Nikos Kazantzakis, recognized as one of the greatest writers Greece has produced since the days of Homer and the Ancient Greek dramatists. Acclaimed both as a modern classic and as an international bestseller, the novel has increasingly gained popularity not only in the Western world, but also in east Asia. This text reads Kazantzakis's novel from five different critical perspectives, formalist, existentialist, feminist, ecocritical and intercultural. As such, it will be useful to literary critics, scholars and general readers, as well as any person interested in literary criticism and theory. |
