George Seferis (1900-1971) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963. Truthful and magical, his poetry has captivated both Greek and foreign readers. Aptly described by Charlotte Du Cann as `the unlocker of ancient stones and sea voyages', Seferis was for Peter Levi `one of the
greatest writers in this century in any language. ... From Seferis it was possible to learn... what seriousness about poetry is.'
