Eliot's poetry is an inexhaustible source of delight, and the continuous global interest in it stems from the ability of the great modernist poet to express his personal world through an original poetic line.

This book includes two of his most important compositions along with analytical comments. Both are milestones in Eliot's poetic evolution and landmarks of Anglo-Saxon and world poetry.

According to Professor of Poetry at the University of Oxford, Peter Levi: "Royis Papageorgiou captivatingly re-captures the original texts in an amazing way. There is no translator from Greek to English who translates as well. Many of his Eliot stanzas, and I mean up to 4 and 5 lines at a time, allow one to feel the continuity and contrast of the rhythm, as well as the undeniable quality of his conclusions, are like the hidden writing of Eliot in Greek..."

Nevertheless, Eliot's "The Waste Land" is a world that young people should have in their own language, and Royis Papageorgiou, with his translation of "Prufrock" and his previous translations of other Eliot poems, has served them well.
