1943 The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
What Our Customers Say...
Description
'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' refers to Edward Fitzgerald's 1859 translation of a selection of Persian quatrains attributed to Omar Khayyam (1048-1131). By the 1880s, the work was extremely successful, and had been published in a number of editions. It has since inspired countless translations into other languages. Fitzgerald's translation was loose and interpretive, referred to by its author as 'transmogrification', to the extent that some consider the translation poetry in its own right separate of its source material.
Complete with an unclipped dust wrapper.
With both the first and second edition of this translation included, as well as a biographical sketch of Omar Khayyam.
A lovely little copy of this well-known work.
