Socrates Poisoned Again After 25 Centuries

As the bishop of Crete's Greek Orthodox Church urges the local citizenry to forcibly drive him out of the villa where he is staying, Osho revives the spirit of Zorba in a series of lively talks to his disciples and to visiting journalists. Eventually Osho, like Socrates, was accused of "corrupting the youth" - and his heavy-handed deportation is documented in an eight-page colour section at the end of this volume. But in the meantime the "corruption" was recorded on audio and video tapes, and now in print. A banquet of timely topics, from politics and religion to teenagers and sex, it sparkles like the Mediterranean setting in which it happened.
