In his evocation of eternal Greece, his vision of the war and its aftermath, and his concluding celebration of human life, Elytis is a true voice of our age – a deeply personal lyric poet who speaks for humanity at large.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable id=\"product-attribute-specs-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePages\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Pages\"\u003e114\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publication Date\"\u003e2007\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePublisher\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Publisher\"\u003eCarcanet Press Ltd\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eISBN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"ISBN\"\u003e9780856463563\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBinding\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Binding\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd data-th=\"Author\"\u003eOdysseus Elytis \/ Edmund Keeley \/ George Savidis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Diavazo Greek Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40154824573117,"sku":"the axion esti","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/7574\/2397\/products\/odysseus-elytisthe-axion-esti-edmund-keeley-george-savidis-5137448.jpg?v=1765467736","url":"https:\/\/checkout.diavazo.co.uk\/products\/the-axion-esti","provider":"Diavazo Greek Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
