For the first time, the complete poetry of the great Hellenic writer gathered in a single volume.

Against those who claim that the work of Cavafis does not belong to any of the known schools and will remain forever -so to speak- as a poetic exceptionality that will find no imitators, signs of Cavafis' influence can be seen everywhere, a natural consequence of any valuable and progressive contribution. Cavafis is an ultramodern poet, a poet for future generations. As a complement to its historical, psychological and philosophical value, the sobriety of its impeccable style, sometimes verging on laconicism, its measured enthusiasm that leads to intellectual emotion, its correct phrase, the result of an aristocratic nature, its subtle irony, are elements that will be appreciated even more by future generations, driven by the progress of discoveries and by the subtlety of their intellectual capacity.

Rare poets like Cavafis will then find a preponderant place in a world that will reflect much more than today. With these data, this book argues that his work will not simply be buried in libraries as a historical document of Greek literary development.
