A wonderful tale of a young man’s coming of age, Zorba the Greek has been a classic of world literature since it was first translated into English in 1952 and made into an unforgettable movie with Anthony Quinn. Zorba, an irrepressible, earthy hedonist, sweeps his young disciple along as he wines, dines, and loves his way through a life dedicated to fulfilling his copious appetites. Zorba is irresistible in this charming audio production by veteran narrator George Guidall.

pretentious and exalted
Revisado: 01-25-25
Hollow story of a toxic bronance told from the perspective of a pretentious pseudointellectual clinging to a guy who shows him “real living” which he sees in the brute hedonism, sexism and brutality of Zorba. At the same time Zorba is seen through a condescending lense as a “savage” whose “primitive force” is seen as pure and true to the animal nature of man.

Three great strands of practice and belief run through human history - science, religion and magic. Over the last few centuries, magic - the idea that we have a connection with the universe and that the universe responds to us - has developed a bad reputation. But it is still with us, as it has been for millennia, as Professor Chris Gosden shows in this extraordinarily bold and unprecedented history.

Little magic - off topic anthropology book
Revisado: 07-17-22
Not really about magic. Mostly anthropology, burial traditions, paintings and sculptures. I think that the author’s knowledge about actual magical thinking and practices could fit on a leaflet.
If you want to hear about magic you’ll be very disappointed as the long passages of historical and cultural background lead to just few words about magical traditions.
As for the performance it’s ok but the narrator seems to be surprised by some words in front of him and it results in unpleasant pauses preceded by weird intonation.
