A selection of the Greek poet's most important and best-loved poems, in a beautiful pocket-sized hardcover edition with full-cloth binding and silk ribbon marker. EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POETS.

In 2009 Knopf published a new translation of Cavafy's Complete Poems by the brilliant and award-winning writer and scholar Daniel Mendelsohn. Now Mendelsohn has made a selection of the poet's best-loved works for a Pocket Poets edition, including such favorites as ""Waiting for the Barbarians,"" ""Ithaca,"" and ""The God Abandons Antony."" Whether advising Odysseus as he returns home to Ithaca or portraying a doomed Marc Antony on the eve of his death, Cavafy's poems make the historic profoundly and movingly personal. A towering figure of twentieth-century poetry, Cavafy is a stellar addition to the Everyman Pocket Poets series.
