Passions and Ancent Days

Descripción

Description: Dust jacket design by Richard Rummonds; the jacket design is also used on the endpapers. From the publisher's blurb: ''The discovery of new poems by a great poet thirty years after his death is 'archaeological' in its unexpected delight. Such as experience is exotic in the highest sense -- as in the reading experience offered here. Unlike most poetry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Cavafy's work is totally stripped of simile and metaphor. The poems offered here, n the most successful translation of Cavafy to date and the first collection to appear with facing Greek text.'' BINDING/CONDITION: light olive cloth with outer edges in beige paper; on the front cover this beige portion is blind stamped with the poet's name; a Very Good book, with a Good dust jacket; the jacket is price clipped. Illustrated endpapers. 8vo (8 inches tall). 68 pages.
