Courte biographie
Odysseas Elytis, the winner of the 1979 Nobel Prize for Literature, is one of the most outstanding figures of 20th century poetry. Born in Crete, Elytis was the descendant of an old family of Lesbos, the island of the ancient Greek poet Sappho. Elytis broke off his university studies in Law in order to devote himself to his literary and artistic interests. His life was marked by his participation in the Greek Resistance Army after the outbreak of the Second World War. In 1948 Elytis moved to Paris, attending philosophy lectures in Sorbonne and frequenting members of the world's avant-garde. His poetry became widely well-known after it was set to music by composer Mikis Theodorakis.

Critiques

I read somewhere that this book, written after Elytis was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, is one of his works that is "more accessible to Western readers". Which really makes me wonder what his other works are like.

This book is very much about Greece. History (ancient and into the 20th century), nature, smells, boats, water, plants and foods. For me, it conjured up the Mediterranean coasts of Italy and France, because I have been there and have reference. But I don't know what hyssop smells like, or what the mountains look like, or how close together the islands are.

I found the notes in the back (unmarked in the text) halfway through my reading--and they are good, because I wasn't always sure what was a place name or a person's name. But a short note simply cannot give the full historical context.

I can imagine that Elytis was a very popular writer in Greece, and perhaps among readers/writers that have spent time in Greece. I can sense just enough to know I'm not getting everything he intended.

Totta puhuen en ymmärtänyt tästä yhtään mitään. Kovasti oli liturgiaa ja toistoa, paljon sanoja peräkkäin, ei auennut minulle. Pitkiin aikoihin sekavin teos mitä olen lukenut. Jos sinusta tuntuu että ymmärsit tämän mielestäsi hyvin, niin nostan hattua.

I versi di Elitis parlano del mare, del vento, della mimosa e dell'olivo, vi risuonano gli echi dell'antichità della Grecia, vibrano dei colori del paesaggio greco. Nella seconda parte, la raccolta "Variazioni su un raggio di sole". Il poeta si fa musicista e pittore: è una vera polifonia cromatica, quella che la critica ha chiamato "festa per gli occhi", è la stessa musicalità delle canzoni di Mikis Theodorakis, di cui Elitis compose i testi.
