A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2020. A Review 31 Book
of the Year 2020. With The Barbarians Arrive Today, 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.
