This book offers a new interpretation of the poetry of Constantine Cavafy, the Greek Alexandrian poet (1863–1933), whose work remained relatively unknown to the wider French and European public despite being widely translated and studied. It explores his distinctive, mysterious work as a spiritual and initiatory journey, tracing the solitary poet’s difficult path through life’s stages, struggles, and obstacles.
