Axion Esti, The, Paperback / softback Book

Axion Esti, The Paperback / softback

Part of the Pitt Poetry Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Axion Esti is probably the most widely read volume of verse to have appeared in Greece since World War II and remains a classic today.

Those who follow the music of Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis have been especially drawn to Odysseus Elytis's work, his prose is widely considered a mirror to the revolutionary music of Theodorakis.

The "autobiographical" elements are constantly colored by allusion to the history of Greece, thus, the poems express a contemporary consciousness fully resonant with those echoes of the past that have served most to shape the modern Greek experience.
