In 1967, George Seferis decided the time had finally come to publish at least a portion of his journals. As he was preparing his manuscript for the printer, however, the political climate in Greece became increasingly unpropitious for such an undertaking. Soon he did not feel free to publish in his own country, and in those ominous days there were even some fears for the safety of his unpublished manuscripts. Shortly before his death on September 20, 1971, he entrusted a copy of the journal to his friend Athan Anagnostopoulos with the request that he translate it, publish it, and that Walter Kaiser write the introduction for American readers.

A very thoughtful translation
29 May 2008
By Lucy Levant
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Having read this in the original Greek, I can say that the translation is true to the original in language and sentiment. Seferis is a nobel-prize winning author whom non-Greek speakers often overlook. This excellent English translation of the poet's personal journal gives not only insight into the writer, but into a turbelent social period in modern Greek history.
