The Story Of Rosina
By Austin Dobson
Illustrated by Hugh Thompson
Published by Kegan, Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co: London 1895 1st Edition
In Original Gilt Decorated Leather Bindings - Gilt Edged - Illustrated

" Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám stands among the most celebrated works of world literature, achieving enduring fame through Edward FitzGerald's masterful English rendering of the verses attributed to the Persian astronomer, mathematician and poet Omar Khayyám. Blending lyrical beauty with profound reflections on fate, mortality, love and the fleeting nature of life, the Rubáiyát captivated Victorian and Edwardian readers and remains one of the most quoted poetic works ever published. Its themes of living fully in the present moment continue to resonate with readers more than a century after its publication.

This 1903 Macmillan edition presents not only the celebrated quatrains themselves but also valuable scholarly material exploring the history of FitzGerald's translation and the evolution of the text through its various editions. The volume includes notes, comparative analyses of the different versions, and contextual material concerning Omar Khayyám as both poet and scientist. Such additions make this edition particularly appealing to collectors and students of literary history, offering insight into one of the most influential translations in the English language.

Beautifully preserved in elegant leather bindings by the renowned firm Riviere & Co., this edition possesses the refinement and craftsmanship sought by collectors of fine bindings. The richly grained leather, decorative gilt tooling and marbled endpapers complement the timeless text within, creating a volume of exceptional shelf presence. A distinguished example of one of the great classics of Eastern and Western literary tradition, it represents an enduring union of philosophical wisdom, poetic artistry and fine bookbinding."
