He left behind a small, curated oeuvre of 154 poems, along with fragments and drafts of incomplete works. Throughout his life, Constantine had kept a tight grip on the distribution of his poetry, but after his death his reputation grew and Constantine became the august C. P. Cavafy, a writer known not only as a great composer of Hellenic versethe man whose poems reshaped the Greek languagebut also as a global poet whose writing transcends its geographic origins and is to this day widely loved and translated.</p><p>This long-awaited study captures the complexities of Constantine Cavafys life and work, showing him to have been a troubled, brilliant poet who sacrificed love for his art. In rich detail, Gregory Jusdanis and Peter Jeffreys chronicle the young poets life with his family, the vicissitudes of their fortunes, and their eventual poverty after they left Egypt and moved successively to Liverpool, London, and Istanbul. The biography then centers on Constantines adulthood in his beloved Alexandria, the city that nourished his imagination and became for him a metaphor for modern life. Deep archival research uncovers the poets relationships with his teenage companions, his friends of middle age, and the individuals whom in later life he enlisted in his steadfast pursuit of fame.</p><p><em>Constantine Cavafy: A New Biography</em> looks closely at Cavafys artistic journey, from his early poetic experiments to his startling reinvention in middle age, when he renounced much of what he had written and developed a new poetics. Erotic, philosophical, and linguistically suggestive, this widely imitated yet singular style is now recognized and revered as Cavafian.</p>...6383052Constantine Cavafy390542https://www.gandhi.com.mx/constantine-cavafy-9780374610432/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6232475/image.jpg?v=638828024468530000InStockMXN99999PR_DIEbook20259780374610432_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_<p><strong>A long-awaited and much-anticipated biography of one of the great modern poets.</strong></p><p>This life study shows Constantine Cavafy as a flawed genius who sacrificed love to change the course of world poetry. Seeking to capture the complexities of Cavafys life and art, Gregory Jusdanis and Peter Jeffreys approach the biography thematically.</p><p>The book begins in an Alexandria hospital in 1933 where the poet lies dying, surrounded by friends. In rich detail, it chronicles his family, the viscidities of their fortunes, and their eventual poverty as they leave Egypt and move to Liverpool, London, and Istanbul. As the poet reaches adulthood, the biography centers on his beloved Alexandria, the city that nourished his imagination and became for him a metaphor of both his poetry and modern life. The authors then examine the poets relationships with his teenage companions, his friends of middle age, and those individuals in later life whom he enlisted in his steadfast pursuit of fame.</p><p><em>Constantine Cavafy: A New Biography</em> also looks closely at Cavafys poetry and artistic journey, from his early poetic experiments to his startling reinvention in middle age, when he renounced much of what he had written and developed a new poetics, which the world now recognizes as Cavafian. The study ends with the poets memorial service, when his literary heir tries to untangle Cavafys contradictions and safeguard the legacy of the man who risked everything for a global reputation.</p>...(*_*)9780374610432_<p><strong>A long-awaited and much-anticipated biography of one of the great modern poets.</strong></p><p>In 1933, on his seventieth birthday, the poet Constantine Cavafy died in an Alexandrian hospital, surrounded by friends.
