Cavafy: 166 Poems. Translated with an Introduction by Alan L. Boegehold. Cavafy,

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Constantine Cavafy was the most improbable [and] remains among the greatest of modern Greek poets. “He wore a straw hat and stood at an angle to the universe,” said E.M. Forster. Deceptively simple and with hardly a metaphor in sight, Cavafy’s poetry nevertheless presents an enormous challenge to any modern translator. Alan Boegehold has several rare advantages for the task. He is a fine classicist, to whom Cavafy’s forays into the Hellenistic and Byzantine past present no problems.
