Description
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a seamless blend of fact and fiction that spans continents and centuries. Amin Maalouf vividly recreates the history of the manuscript, weaving together the exoticism of 11th-century Persia, the struggles of a country nine hundred years later, and the tragic fate of the Titanic. With keen assurance, this gifted writer brings to life the story of the Rubaiyat's final resting place.
