In the 1930s, George Seferis, George Katsimbalis and other poets and writers, welcomed Henry Miller and Lawrence Durrell to their homeland. In a blend of memoir, literary criticism and interpretative storytelling, this is a journey into the poetry, friendships and politics of the time.

C P Cavafy, one of the greatest modern Greek poets, lived in Alexandria for all but a few of his seventy years.

This work on Cavafy in English describes Cavafy's literary progress and aesthetic development in the making of that myth.
