Book Overview

The Strophes of Omar Khayyam is a collection of poems by the Persian poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam.

The poems are written in a style that is both lyrical and philosophical, and they often use metaphor and symbolism to convey their meaning.

The Strophes of Omar Khayyam has been translated into many languages and has become a classic of Persian literature. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest works of poetry in the Islamic world and has inspired countless poets and writers throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
