Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. An extraordinary literary event: Daniel Mendelsohns acclaimed two-volume translation of the complete poems of C. P. Cavafyincluding the first English translation of the poets final Unfinished Poemsnow published in one handsome edition and featuring the fullest literary commentaries available in English, by the renowned critic, scholar, and international best-selling author of The Lost. No modern poet so vividly brought to life the history and culture of Mediterranean antiquity; no writer dared break, with such taut energy, the early-twentieth-century taboos surrounding homoerotic desire; no poet before or since has so gracefully melded elegy and irony as the Alexandrian Greek poet Constantine Cavafy (18631933). Whether advising Odysseus on his return to Ithaca or confronting the poet with the ghosts of his youth, these verses brilliantly make the historical personaland vice versa. To his profound exploration of longing and loneliness, fate and loss, memory and identity, Cavafy brings the historians assessing eye along with the poets compassionate heart. After more than a decade of work and study, Mendelsohna classicist who alone among Cavafys translators shares the poets deep intimacy with the ancient worldgives readers full access to the genius of Cavafys verse: the sensuous rhymes, rich assonances, and strong rhythms of the original Greek that have eluded previous translators. Complete with the Unfinished Poems that Cavafy left in drafts when he dieda remarkable, hitherto unknown discovery that remained in the Cavafy Archive in Athens for decadesand with an in-depth introduction and a helpful commentary that situates each work in a rich historical, literary, and biographical context, this revelatory translation is a cause for celebration: the definitive presentation of Cavafy in English.
