Sobre este artículo
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. This is the English translation done by Edward Fitzgerald. Omar Khayyam was considered "the Astronomer-Poet of Persia". He was alive from 1048-1131, so the original works of poetry in this book before their translation were written during that time. The binding is a bit loose, there are two names inscribed on the first page, and there is a water stain on the bottom of some of the pages. The outside cover has reasonable wear for its age. I believe this book to be from 1859, although there is no actual date printed inside. **5% of this sale will go towards the fight against racial injustice.
Sinopsis
he Moving Finger writes; and, having writ Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line Nor all thy tears wash out a word of it.' In the 'rubaiyat' (short epigrammatic poems) of the medieval Persian poet, mathematician, and philosopher Omar Khayyam, Edward Fitzgerald saw an unflinching challenge to the illusions and consolations of mankind in every age. His version of Omar is neither a translation nor an independent poem; sceptical of divine providence and insistent on the pleasure of the passing moment, its 'Orientalism' offers FitzGerald a powerful and distinctive voice, in whose accents a whole Victorian generation comes to life. Although the poem's vision is bleak, it is conveyed in some of the most beautiful and haunting images in English poetry - and some of the sharpest- edged. The poem sold no copies at all on its first appearance in 1859, yet when it was 'discovered' two years later its first admirers included Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Swinburne, and Ruskin. Daniel Karlin's richly annotated edition does justice to the scope and complexity of FitzGerald's lyrical meditation on 'human death and fate'.
