The Complete Poems of Cavafy: Expanded Edition by C. P. Cavafy

5.0

Ah, Cavafy! Thank you again, Desmond O'Grady, for introducing me to this great poet and historian. Although I have rarely read a book of poetry from beginning to end, Cavafy is an exception; the beauty of his writing, combined with both the intensely personal and the vivid historical (particularly the wonderful poems of the ancient worlds of Greece, Constantinople and Alexandria), are quite simply a magical reading experience.
