Description
C.P. Cavafy's collected poems offer a unique perspective on history and geography, sexuality and language. This bilingual edition presents the most authentic Greek text of every poem, alongside a new English translation that beautifully conveys Cavafy's distinctive tone of voice. The poems are brief and vivid evocations of historical scenes and sensual moments, often infused with irony. They have established Cavafy as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. This volume includes an extensive introduction, explanatory notes, a chronological list of the poems, and indexes of Greek and English titles, making it a valuable resource for scholars and readers alike. Oxford University Press's Reissue of Cavafy's collected poems provides a wealth of information and features, including expert introductions and up-to-date bibliographies.
