Cavafy\u003c\/strong\u003e by Cavafy, Constantine. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780151005192.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince his death almost seventy years ago, C. P. Cavafy has come to be recognized as one of the greatest poets of modern times. Elegiac, deeply sensual, and able to plumb the heart with language of immense richness, Cavafy evokes the great lost classical world of the Mediterranean with unparalleled beauty. Much of his poetry deals with love, specifically homosexual love. It speaks of human passions, the experience common to all mankind of love offered, sought, and lost. His verse is beautiful and embracing, and remains as alive and sensuous as it was when he wrote it.\n\nTheoharis Constantine Theoharis offers a new translation, one that presents Cavafys work in the thematic order Cavafy wanted it published and emphasizes the tenderness and intensity of the love poems. Gore Vidals foreword offers an explication of Cavafys world, a valuable map for readers of what will be embraced as a signal volume of world poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44679371751477,"sku":"ByrdShop_0151005192","price":28.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0151005192_c907f0ae-c3ae-4b21-ab62-082125410196.jpg?v=1784206128","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/before-time-could-change-them-the-complete-poems-of-constantine-p-cavafy-9780151005192","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
