Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis translated by Carl Wildman?
The book is narrated by George Guidall who is one of my least favorite narrators. Part of the problem is that many of the books he has narrator are on the "boring" side and his voice is associated with the boredom. Just hearing his voice makes the book go down a notch.
As for the book, it feels very Greek. Zorba comes across as an outgoing boisterous Greek man. Things happen. They do crazy stuff. There is talk of women as a sort of idolized object. This book was referenced in another book from the middle east. Maybe that is not the best reason to pick a book.
