Sobre este artículo

New York and London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1912. A Very Good Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. Illustrations by Edmund Dulac.

Blue Cloth with blind-stamped blue embossing with git spine titles and a gilt front decoration, the bindings a bit shaken and the text block is square.  Text clean, even toning with occasional foxing mainly on the top of pages.  Moderate shelf handling wear. Over-opened at a few signatures. A Signature on the half-title through Edward Fitzgerald's name..

This book of poetry is attributed to Omar Khayyam, a highly respected Persian astronomer and mathematician, who lived in the 11th and 12th centuries. Generically, rubaiyat describes a collection of a specific type of poem, or rubai, that contains stanzas of four quatrains or lines. The rubai often has a rhyming pattern of A-A-B-A.

The Khayyam'sRubaiyat gained interest in the West after the 1859 English translation by Edward FitzGerald, although there are numerous English translations, and the collection has been translated into almost every major language.

Sinopsis

 Philosopher, astronomer and mathematician, Khayyam as a poet possesses a singular originality. His poetry is richly charged with evocative power and offers a view of life characteristic of his stormy times, with striking relevance to the present day.

Reseñas

El May 16 2016, un lector dijo:
With Paintings and Decorations by Sarkis Katchadourian, born in Iran, where he recreated romantic frescoes in old palaces, he then trained in Rome, continued in Paris and then later in Munich. It is really fitting that this cosmopolitan artist's original paintings reproduced in bright colors and the black and white line drawings take you there celebrate under a bough with a book of verse and flask of wine you are magically drawn in and there drinking in the words of the poet.... drunk on the verse.
El Sep 11 2011, WonderPony dijo:
Fantastic poetry from 11th century Persia as translated by a depressed Englishman going through a divorce in 1859. The first translation is by far the best but it is interesting to get several of them and compare. I'm not a huge poetry fan but I love the simplicity, imagery and strange allegories Omar Khayyam writes about. He was apparently a big fan of the wine.
