Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyám (Persian Original And Whinfield Translation)

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám (Persian original and Whinfield translation)

by Omar Khayyam

This bilingual recording of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat features 500 quatrains in both Persian and English translation. While listeners unfamiliar with Persian will not be able to appreciate the meaning of the quatrains in their original form, everyone can enjoy the musicality of Omar's verse, which Whinfield often succeeds in capturing.
