Summary
Gathers selected poems from C. P. Cavafy that explore the history and culture of his native country, Greece, accompanied by a concise portrait of the poet, his work, and his important influence on younger generations of writers. Reprint.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Cavafy's mythical world presents us with an image of the good life--the life of exquisite sensuality, refined tastes, and mixed faiths--that more often than not carries within it the ripening prospect of its own death; yet in his work there appears to be no other life more worthy of celebration.... As ironist and realist, his vision is readily translatable into the language of contemporary experience; and the commitment to hedonism, to political skepticism, and to honest self-awareness... anticipates the prevailing aura of our times.
