Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The Alexandrian Greek poet Constantine Cavafy (18631933) is a towering figure of twentieth-century literature.

In this edition, award-winning translator and editor Daniel Mendelsohn has made a selection of the poets best-loved works, including such favorites as Waiting for the Barbarians, Ithaca, and The God Abandons Antony. Accompanied by Mendelsohns explanatory notes, the poems collected here cover the vast sweep of Hellenic civilization, from the Trojan War through Cavafys own lifetime. Whether advising Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca or portraying a doomed Marc Antony on the eve of his death, Cavafys poems make the historic profoundly and movingly personal.

EXTRAORDINARY: BRILLiANT: VIVID: POWERFUL: SEARCHING: MOVING: WISE: SENSUOUS: RICH: STRONG: DEFINITIVE: NEW Stated First Edition hardcover (Orig.March 2009) First Printing * 6.24" x 9.50" x 1.48", 0.96 kg, lxvi+558 (624) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: An extraordinary literary event: the simultaneous publication of a brilliant & vivid new rendering of C. P. Cavafy's "Collected Poems" & the first-ever English translation of the poet's 30 "Unfinished Poems", both featuring the fullest literary commentaries available in English?by the acclaimed critic, scholar, & award-winning author of "The Lost". No modern poet brought so vividly to life the history & culture of Mediterranean antiquity; no writer dared break, w/ such taut energy, the early-20th-century taboos surrounding homoerotic desire; no poet before or since has so gracefully melded elegy & irony as the Alexandrian Greek poet Constantine Cavafy (1863-1933). After more than a decade of work & study, w/ the cooperation of the Cavafy Archive in Athens, Daniel Mendelsohn (a classics scholar who alone among Cavafy's translators shares the poet's deep intimacy w/ the ancient world) is uniquely positioned to give readers full access to Cavafy's genius. And we hear for the first time the remarkable music of his poetry: the sensuous rhymes, rich assonances, & strong rhythms of the original Greek that have eluded previous translators. The more than 250 works collected in this volume, comprising all of the Published, Repudiated, & Unpublished poems, cover the vast sweep of Hellenic civilization, from the Trojan War through Cavafy's own lifetime. Powerfully moving, searching & wise, whether advising Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca or portraying a doomed Marc Antony on the eve of his death, Cavafy's poetry brilliantly makes the historical personal, & vice versa. He brings to his profound exploration of longing & loneliness, fate & loss, memory & identity the historian's assessing eye as well as the poet's compassionate heart. W/ its in-depth introduction & a helpful commentary that situates each work in a rich historical, literary, & biographical context, this revelatory new translation, together w/ "The Unfinished Poems", is a cause for celebration?the definitive presentation of Cavafy in English. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "W/ deep feeling, exacting care, & extraordinary intelligence, Daniel Mendelsohn has given us a stunning new version of the "Collected Poems" of Constantine Cavafy, along w/ one of the most exciting discoveries in recent memory--"The Unfinished Poems" of this great, eternal poet. All of us who care about literature are indebted to Mendelsohn: we will be mining these thrilling books for years to come." -Edward Hirsch. "In a vigorous labor of literary love, Daniel Mendelsohn has not only handed us the definitive & complete Cavafy, but he has brought to light for the first time in English this major poet's revealing final poems. Meticulously edited & smartly annotated, the poems fully embody Cavafy the sensualist & the antiquarian & his distinctive lyric shuttling between the ancient & modern worlds." -Billy Collins * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR-EDITOR: Daniel Mendelsohn's reviews & essays on literary & cultural subjects appear regularly in numerous publications, including The New Yorker & The New York Review of Books. His previous books include the memoir "The Elusive Embrace", a New York Times Notable Book & a Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year, & the international best seller "The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million", which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Prix Médicis, & many other honors.
