Cavafy Poems

In 2009 Knopf published a new translation of Cavafy\'s Complete Poems by the brilliant and award-winning writer and scholar Daniel Mendelsohn. Now Mendelsohn has made a selection of the poet\'s best-loved works for a Pocket Poets edition, including such favorites as \"Waiting for the Barbarians,\" \"Ithaca,\" and \"The God Abandons Antony.\" Whether advising Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca or portraying a doomed Marc Antony on the eve of his death, Cavafy\'s poems make thehistoric profoundly and movingly personal. A towering figure of twentieth-century poetry, Cavafy is a stellar addition to the Everyman Pocket Poets series. Σελίδες: 256, Διαστάσεις: 11.3x11.3cm
