The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám and Other Writings by Edward Fitzgerald

By Omar Khayyám

Book Overview

This volume features the celebrated Victorian translation of Persian philosopher-poet Omar Khayy m's Rub iy t, alongside other reflective writings by its translator. Blending lyrical sensuality with meditations on fate, time, and mortality, the verses-rendered in English quatrains-convey the transient beauty of life through a uniquely fatalistic lens. The accompanying texts deepen the literary and philosophical context, offering a window into the East-West cultural dialogue that defined 19th-century literary Romanticism.
