C. P. Cavafy: Collected Poems - Bilingual Edition, by C. P. Cavafy

5.0

This has been a great book. When I took a (modern) Hellenic class at university we were introduced to Kavafis. The poem that struck me most of those we read was "Epestrephe" (Come Back, p. 78-79 in this book). This inspired me to find a bilingual edition of Kavafis' poetry, one of the teachers directed me towards this book. I have enjoyed it a great deal, disparate though my reading was; coming in burst with regular hiatuses in between lasting months. I am glad to have finally finished the book. I enjoyed Kavafis' style and subject matter a great deal. I can recommend this book to anyone studying modern Hellenic.
