Zusammenfassung
C P Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria. He is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. This bilingual edition offers English translations of Cavafy's poetry.

C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived in relative obscurity in Alexandria, and a collected edition of his poems was not published until after his death. Now, however, he is regarded as the most important figure in twentieth-century Greek poetry, and his poems are considered among the most powerful in modern European literature. This revised bilingual edition of Collected Poems offers the reader the original Greek texts facing what are now recognized as the standard English translations of Cavafy's poetry. It is this translation that best captures the poet's mixture of formal and idiomatic language and that preserves the immediacy of his increasingly frank treatment of homosexual eroticism, his brilliant re-creation of history, and his astute political ironies. This new bilingual edition also features the notes of editor George Savidis and a new foreword by Robert Pinsky.

"A splendid introduction. . . . [These] translations offer an immediate access to a world brilliantly peopled with Alexandrians and Greeks, a world where Anthony and Kaisarion come alive and speak."

Translated by Edmund Keeley & Philip Sherrard Edited by George Savidis With a new preface by Robert Pinsky
