The ambassador and author Vasilis Papadopoulos presents in this essay George Seferis from an original perspective, emphasizing Seferis the diplomat and the way his career influenced his literary creation.
Initially, he refers to his poetry in a simple and comprehensible manner, and then to his professional side, his difficult relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the politicians, with his constant complaints that his diplomatic career did not allow him to dedicate enough time to poetry.
Subsequently, he examines how his profession helped him in poetic creation and also mentions other diplomatic-writers, seven of whom have been honored with the Nobel Prize in Literature, such as Pablo Neruda (Chile) and Saint-John Perse (France).
He also traces the imprint and influence of his diplomatic career in Seferis' poems during the difficult times he lived through.
Finally, he analyzes Seferis' official language in relation to his poetic language and presents declassified documents and telegrams from all the positions he held as a diplomat, following research at the historical Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The differences and commonalities of his language and style are identified, which in both cases remain simple, austere, and concise. Seferian.
