Etat : Sehr gut. XX, 240 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - Constantine Cavafy was the most improbable [and] remains among the greatest of modern Greek poets. "He wore a straw hat and stood at an angle to the universe," said E.M. Forster. Deceptively simple and with hardly a metaphor in sight, Cavafy's poetry nevertheless presents an enormous challenge to any modern translator. Alan Boegehold has several rare advantages for the task. He is a fine classicist, to whom Cavafy's forays into the Hellenistic and Byzantine past present no problems. His familiarity with the Greek language, both ancient and modern, makes him sensitive to subtle nuances that many would miss (no accident that he's an expert on Greek gestures). - Alan Lindley Boegehold took his A.B. in Latin at the University of Michigan in 1950 and his Ph.D. in Classical Philology at Harvard University in 1958. He taught Latin and Greek mostly at Brown University (1960-2001), but he began at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, and taught from time to time as a visitor at Harvard, Yale, the University of California at Berkeley, Amherst College, and Florida State University. In exploring the world of Classical antiquity, he has tried to use language, literature, philosophy, the structures of justice, and all material culture as ways to understanding. His most recent books are When a Gesture Was Expected (Princeton University Press, 1999), The Lawcourts at Athens, vol. 28 of the Athenian Agora series (The American School at Athens, 1995), and In Simple Clothes: Eleven Poems by Constantine Cavafy (Occasional Works, 1992.) Boegehold came to an appreciation of modern Greek literature by way of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, a graduate research institute affiliated with over 150 leading American colleges and universities, where he has been a professor in residence and chairman of the Managing Committee.

Constantine Cavafy is considered the greatest of modern Greek poets. His poems treat historical, philosophical, and erotic themes, sometimes altogether, and share a unique voice.This volume includes a fresh translation by noted classical scholar Alan Boegehold, a translation that captures the style as well as the meaning of the Greek, and a foreword discussing Cavafy's distinctive values. Constantine Cavafy was the most improbable [and] remains among the greatest of modern Greek poets. "He wore a straw hat and stood at an angle to the uni-verse," said E.M. Forster. Deceptively simple and with hardly a metaphor in sight, Cavafy's poetry nevertheless presents an enormous challenge to any modern translator. Alan Boege-hold has several rare advantages for the task. He is a fine classicist, to whom Cavafy's forays into the Hellenistic and Byzantine past present no problems. His familiarity with the Greek language, both ancient and modern, makes him sensitive to subtle nuances that many would miss (no accident that he's an expert on Greek gestures). From the Foreword.
