Sobre este artículo
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Company, no date (ca. 1930). Octavo (9" x 6.5"), 172 pages plus 12 tipped in color plates including frontis by Willy Pogany. Publisher's gilt-lettered & decorated terra-cotta cloth, in gold pictorial dust jacket. Top edge gilt, pictorial endpapers.
Spine slightly cocked, brief shelf wear, endpapers & pastedowns with modest foxing, otherwise very good in dust jacket with edge wear including small losses short tears & creasing, still good or better.
A delightful example of Khayyam's work which is greatly enhanced by the mildly erotic illustrations of Willy Pogany.
As characterized by philosopher Roman Krznaric,
"The Rubáiyát was an unapologetic expression of hedonism, bringing to mind sensuous embraces in jasmine-filled gardens on balmy Arabian nights, accompanied by cups of cool, intoxicating wine. It was a passionate outcry against the unofficial Victorian ideologies of moderation, primness and self-control."
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.

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.
