Description
The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a collection of short epigrammatic poems that challenge the illusions and consolations of mankind in every age. Written by medieval Persian poet, mathematician, and philosopher Omar Khayyám, and translated by Edward FitzGerald, this poem offers a powerful and distinctive voice that conveys a bleak yet beautiful vision of human death and fate. FitzGerald's version of Omar Khayyám's work is neither a translation nor an independent poem, but rather a lyrical meditation that has become a defining voice of Victorian literature. The poem's beauty and haunting images have captivated readers for generations, and its complex exploration of human mortality continues to resonate today. This edition, part of the Oxford World's Classics series, provides a richly annotated text that does justice to the scope and complexity of FitzGerald's work. With expert introductions, helpful notes, and up-to-date bibliographies, this volume offers a valuable resource for scholars and readers alike.
