Description

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a translation of Persian poems attributed to Omar Khayyám, a 11th-century poet and mathematician. The title refers to the original "quatrains" - two-line stanzas with two parts per line - which make up this collection. Edward FitzGerald's translation offers insight into the mystical and spiritual themes present in these poems. Accompanying each quatrain is Persian text, a glossary of terms, and an interpretation by Paramahansa Yogananda, who explores the work's connection to mysticism and spirituality. For readers interested in exploring the deeper meaning behind this ancient poetry, The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám provides a unique opportunity to engage with the works of one of history's most fascinating figures.
