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.

    The initial damage comes from the very fragile nature of the goods that ships carry. In the agoras of fantasy, the best things are made of thin glass and transparent clay, and with all the care in the world, many are destroyed in transit, and many are lost on arrival. Such damage is irreparable, since it is impossible to go back and pick up similar products. There is no chance of finding the same store that sold the items in the first place.

    I wonder if in ancient times

    glorious Alexandria held a youth so sublime,

    a boy more perfect than he – who had been so wasted:

    there are no statues or paintings, of course.

    Thrown into the old blacksmith’s,

    worn out by strenuous labour

    and everyday revelry, he was quickly ruined.
