Features: Kavafis was one of the most creative and influential poets of the 20th century. His early works were mostly "elegant language" poems with romantic elements. He was serious in his writing, publishing almost exclusively short poems rarely exceeding one page. His themes often involved historical myths, philosophy, and the expression of personal emotions, showcasing a unique style. This collection of selected poems by Kavafis includes over 100 of his poems, divided into three parts: Early Works, Published Poems, and Unpublished Works. The translation of this volume began in 1994 and spanned several years, finally being completed only recently.
