Cavafy was instrumental in the revival and recognition of Greek poetry both at home and abroad. His poems are, typically, concise but intimate evocations of real or literary figures and milieu that have played roles in Greek culture.An ex-library copy with title page missing and marks inside front cover, otherwise the text is complete, tight,, clean and neat.261p. notes bibliography.
