Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Zustand: FINE. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: NEAR FINE. First Edition. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Elytis on half-title 'For Stathis and Ralph' in GREEK. First English Edition, First Printing. 74pp. Orange speckled paper over boards with blue-gilt lettering to front cover, backed in blue finished cloth with silver-gilt spine lettering, red endpapers. An exceedingly clean and crisp copy. Dust jacket has some trivial rubbing to head and tail of spine, entirely crisp and bright otherwise. Ralph Sylvester and Stathis Orphanos were publishers of the fine-press publishing company 'Sylvester & Orphanos.' Stathis was a noted photographer and born of Greek parents, maintaining a residence on the island of Samos throughout his life. First published in Greece in 1978, the year before Elytis was awarded the Nobel Prize, Maria Nefeli was a stark departure from the earlier work that had won him renown as the greatest Greek poet of his generation. Its novelty gave many early readers pause, but 'despite the initial reservations voiced by some critics, Maria Nefeli came to be regarded as the summa of Elytis's later writings.'
