Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam - The Astonomer Poet Of Persia
Rendered Into English Verse by Edward Fitzgerald
Published by MacMillan And Co Limited: London 1907

"Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám - The Astronomer Poet of Persia, rendered into English verse by Edward FitzGerald and published by Macmillan and Co. Limited in London in 1907, is one of the most enduring and poetic translations in English literature. FitzGerald's masterful rendering of the 12th-century Persian quatrains captures the mystical, philosophical, and sensuous spirit of Omar Khayyám's reflections on fate, love, and the fleeting nature of life. The 1907 Macmillan edition continues the publisher's elegant tradition of presenting this beloved work with refined typography and scholarly care, often featuring decorative borders and fine paper that enhance its contemplative tone.

Blending Eastern mysticism with Victorian melancholy, the Rubáiyát became a cultural phenomenon, influencing poets, artists, and thinkers throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This edition represents the period when the poem had achieved near-mythic literary status, cherished as both art and philosophy. It will appeal to collectors of classic poetry, admirers of Persian literature, and those drawn to the timeless beauty of FitzGerald's translation of Khayyám's meditations on existence and the divine.
