Rubáiyát Of Omar Khayyám (Fitzgerald 5th Edition)

Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Fitzgerald 5th edition)

by Omar Khayyam

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a collection of quatrains, a specific type of two-line stanza, originally written in Persian by the 11th-century polymath Omar Khayyám. The work explores themes of life, death, knowledge, and the search for meaning in a transient world. Khayyám's verses are often characterized by their philosophical depth, lyrical beauty, and a blend of skepticism and acceptance of life's fleeting nature. The translation by Edward Fitzgerald, particularly his fifth edition, is considered a masterpiece of English literature, capturing the essence of Khayyám's thought and style.
