Cavafy Translated Introduced Edmund Keeley (1 results)

Hardbound. Condition: Very Good. First Printing, so stated. Description: Dust jacket design by Richard Rummonds; the jacket design is also used on the endpapers. From the publisher's blurb: ''The discovery of new poems by a great poet thirty years after his death is 'archaeological' in its unexpected delight. Such as experience is exotic in the highest sense -- as in the reading experience offered here. Unlike most poetry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cavafy's work is totally stripped of simile and metaphor. The poems offered here, n the most successful translation of Cavafy to date and the first collection to appear with facing Greek text.''

Illustrated endpapers. 8vo (8 inches tall). 68 pages.
