First edition. Signed and inscribed by the translator, Theodore Stephanides. Original printed card wrappers with titles in black to the upper cover and spine. All edges untrimmed, with several pages unopened throughout. A better than very good copy, the binding square and firm, with a little rubbing and creasing to the extremities and some toning to the cover edges and spine. The contents, with mild toning to the paper stock, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. Signed and inscribed by Theodore Stephanides in black ink to the front free endpaper "To William Cookson / with best wishes, / Theodore Stephanides / London, May 1974". The first edition of Stephanides and Katsimbalis' translation of Palamas' poetical work, first published in Greek in 1907. Theodore Stephanides (1896-1983) was a Greek-British doctor and polymath, known as a naturalist, biologist, astronomer, poet, writer and translator, although is perhaps best remembered today as the friend and mentor of Gerald Durrell. Stephanides was notably depicted by Durrell in his most famous work, My Family and Other Animals, as well as in Prospero's Cell by Lawrence Durrell, The Colossus of Maroussias by Henry Miller, and numerous film and television productions. His translations of the work of Palamas were chief amongst his efforts to promote Greek poetry. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Privately Printed, 1974 Formatting: Large 8vo, pp. 194. Condition Report: Good. The original printed card wrappers remain structurally sound and the binding is entirely secure, though the front panel exhibits prominent damp-staining extending inwards from the spine and lower margins, along with mild creasing to the extremities. The spine itself is uncreased and the lettering remains bold. Internally, the text block is bright and highly legible, featuring a distinct diagonal crease traversing the front free endpaper and faint, isolated age-toning to the untrimmed page edges, yet remaining thoroughly free from foxing or heavy internal wear. Catalogue Note: First edition thus, translated by Theodore Ph. Stephanides and George C. Katsimbalis. This remarkable presentation copy bears a warm, handwritten inscription on the front free endpaper: "For Eric Glasgow, with the authors' best wishes, from Theodore Stephanides, London, 25-2-1974." Crucially, the volume is accompanied by a rich vein of original correspondence between the translator and the recipient. Laid within is a substantive two-page Autograph Letter Signed (ALS) by Stephanides, dated 18 May 1977, discussing their ongoing translations of Palamas, specificallyÂA Hundred Voices and Asalefte Zoe, and noting the publication of the Memphis State University Press bilingual edition of the present work. Alongside this is a typed carbon-copy response from Dr. Glasgow (dated 22 May 1977) praising Stephanides's contributions to The Greek Gazette and requesting a copy of the sequel, complete with the original postmarked mailing envelope. Locating a copy with such an extensive and illuminating archival connection between a celebrated translator (Stephanides being a noted polymath and close associate of the Durrell family) and a respected classical academic is exceptionally scarce. Considered the magnum opus of Kostes Palamas, one of Greece's most towering modern literary figures,ÂThe Twelve Words of the Gipsy is a sweeping, philosophical epic poem. Blending national history, folklore, and profound existential inquiry, Palamas utilizes the figure of the free-spirited Romani to explore themes of art, love, and the enduring Hellenic spirit. This foundational text of modern Greek literature is rendered here with scholarly passion and poetic sensitivity by Stephanides and Katsimbalis, bringing a seminal masterpiece to the English-speaking world.

hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. Publication: London, Privately Printed, 1976 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 110. Condition Report: Very Good. The volume remains structurally sound with a firm text block and uncracked hinges, though the paper wrappers show some distinct signs of handling. The front wrapper bears a noticeable surface scuff and paper tear to the upper right quadrant beneath the author's name, likely from the removal of a previous adhesive label. The wrappers are protected in a clear aftermarket sleeve, which has caused some faint tape ghosting and adhesive shadowing to the rear panel and interior flaps. Internally, the pages are exceptionally bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing or shelf-wear, presenting a pristine reading experience that balances the exterior cosmetic faults. Catalogue Note: First edition thus of this collaborative English translation by Theodore Ph. Stephanides and George C. Katsimbalis. This particular copy is elevated by an exceptional and historically significant association provenance. The front free endpaper features a warm, dated presentation inscription from Theodore Stephanides to Dr. Eric Glasgow, a noted scholar and prolific writer on Greek literature. The inscription reads: "For Eric Glasgow, / with best wishes & admiration / for his many articles on Greece / & Greek literature, / Theodore Stephanides / London, 26-5-1977." Crucially, directly beneath the dedication, Stephanides has penned a complete, original four-line manuscript poem titled "Ionian Nightfall," signed with his initials "T.S." The manuscript verse reads: "Dark dancing shadows. swaying olive-trees, / a climbing moon above a mountain spire, / a silver ripple fleeing from the breeze / across a bay that crinkles into fire." This remarkable addition transforms the volume into a unique manuscript artifact. Theodore Stephanides, a polymath, poet, and famously the mentor to Gerald Durrell in Corfu, infuses this copy with immense literary value. Privately printed and already scarce in commerce, the presence of original manuscript verse and a distinguished presentation association makes this a superlative acquisition for collectors of the Durrell circle and modern Greek literature. First published in Greek in 1902, A Hundred Voices (Ekatofones) is a sequence of brief, eight-line poems by Kostes Palamas, the towering literary figure who composed the Olympic Anthem. Through these evocative verses, Palamas captures a cascade of subconscious musings, nature observations, and philosophical reflections on science, religion, and the human condition. This edition brings Palamas's vivid imagery to the English-speaking world through the sensitive translation of two giants of the Greek literary diaspora: Theodore Stephanides and George Katsimbalis (the famous inspiration for Henry Millerâs The Colossus of Maroussi).
