C.P. Cavafy: Reaching Ithaka

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The work of the Greek poet C.P. Cavafy is intimately linked with the Egyptian city of Alexandria where he lived and worked for most of his life. His comparatively small output, no more than 160 poems, has nonetheless brought him an ardent following. In this evocative portrait, Bill Nighy reads some of Cavafy's best-known work, including his most famous poem, Ithaka. Producers Diana Bentley and David Prest Rptd on Saturday at 11.30pm
