Cavafy's Complete Poems, including The First English Translations of The Unfinished Poems, Translated, With Introduction And Commentary by Daniel Mendelsohn". Namely, THE Cavafy Book of and for our time: Meticulous, exhaustive, tremendous. "Cavafy's distinctive tone - wistfully elegiac but resolutely dry-eyed - has captivated English-language poets from W. H. Auden to James Merrill to Louise Gluck. Auden maintained that Cavafy's tone seemed always to 'survive translation'. Daniel Mendelsohn's new translations render that tone more pointedly than ever before. He also reinvigorates our relationship to the English language. As Mendelsohn argues, any division between the erotic and historical poems is facile. Whether Cavafy is describing an ancient political intrigue or an erotic encounter that occurred last week, his theme is the passage of time. Mendelsohn has focussed his attention on the exquisite care Cavafy took with diction, syntax, meter, and rhyme. It is only through attention to these minute aspects of poetic language that tone is produced. Cavafy mingled high and low diction, and Mendelsohn's translations shift similarly between the lofty and the mundane. This shift lets us hear something crucial about Cavafy's tone. But it also lets Mendelsohn's translations exist fully as English poems. Mendelsohn thinks like a poet, which is to say he inhabits the meaning of language through its movement. Mendelsohn's Cavafy is itself a work of art" (The New York Times). Cavafy regarded his poetry as a work-in-progress. These translations of ALL his known work, finished and unfinished, are a major and timely event. An absolute "must-have" title for C. P. Cavafy and Daniel Mendelsohn collectors. This title is a great book. This was a lifelong book collector's copy, who also laid in a lovely Vintage Souvenir Note from the author. The Note is very prominently and beautifully signed, dated, and inscribed in black ink-pen: "To - With warmest wishes, Daniel Mendelsohn 18 Jan 2007". This is the only copy (with Signed Vintage Note) of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (British) available online and is in fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. The greatest Greek poet of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANIEL MENDELSOHN TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 000752336X. Signed by Author.
