Sobre este artículo
London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co. , 1913. Hardcover. Very Good. Scarce translation of the Rubaiyat done by Johnson, from the Lucknow manuscript. Contains 762 quatrains done in a poetic, rhyming style similar to Fitzgerald but aiming to accurately convey the original meaning. It was common to attribute such quatrains to Khayyam and some that appear in the manuscript are surely the work of other poets, as Johnson notes, but he 'took the work as it was found'. Blind stamped decorated cloth. Top edge gilt. 12mo. (180x140mm) [vi] unpaginated but each quatrain numbered. Blue cloth boards have some mild rubbing to edges. Boards slightly bowed. Mild foxing to fore-edge. Contents clean and tight. A bright copy of the scarce edition that compares favorably to Fitzgerald's selection. Very good.
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.

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.
