<span style="font-size:11.0pt;">With <i>The Barbarians Arrive Today, </i>Evan Jones has produced the classic English Cavafy for our age. Expertly translated from Modern Greek, this edition presents Cavafy’s finest poems, short creative prose and autobiographical
writings, offering unique insights into his life’s work. Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Constantine Petrou Cavafy (1863– 1933) was a minor civil servant who self-published and distributed his poems among friends; he is now regarded as one of the most significant
poets of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, an influence on writers across generations and languages. The broad, rich world of the Mediterranean and its complex history are his domain, its days and nights of desire and melancholy, ambition
and failure – with art always at the centre of life.</span></p>

<p class="ydp46285d84yiv3185057225Default" align="center" style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext;">'Do we need another Cavafy, the most translated of modern Greek poets? Surprisingly, Evan Jones shows us that the answer is a resounding “yes.” Cavafy
famously left behind a body of 154 “canonical poems,” a number corresponding conveniently with the number of Shakespeare’s sonnets. But he also left us with 37 “repudiated” poems, some of which were composed in the synthetic literary “katherevousa” register
of Greek, 75 “hidden” poems, and 30 “unfinished” or “imperfect” poems. Cavafy also wrote prose about some of the same subject matter, and that explored his ideas about poetry. Jones does not attempt to give us a complete overview of Cavafy’s work, but by putting
poems in thematic categories, and allowing “hidden” poems to brush up against “canonical” ones (one could note that the manuscript of “The Horses of Achilles” and of the much less well known “Priam’s Night March” are written on two sides of the same piece
of paper) we see them in a new, revealing light. Jones is sensitive not only to the sense, but the sound of the Greek, rhyming where the original does, and his afterword, while wearing its considerable scholarship lightly, reorients Cavafy’s oeuvre for the
reader. It is a great pleasure—one of the most important Cavafyian words—to have these poems and prose writings in one volume.'</span></p>
