That is why the widow is murdered by the puritanical villagers, and why the apparatus that operates the lignite mine crashes in total disaster. Such is, says Kazantzakis, the destiny of man and all his works. This is the Greek tragic sense of life, and from it springs Zorba's credo: to live in, for and by each moment as if it were the first and the last. With this musical, one soon wishes each...
