A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year 2020, A Review 31 Book of the Year 2020, and a classic English Cavafy for our age, Evan Jones has produced The Barbarians Arrive Today. 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.
