Sobre este artículo
4to in cloth with remnants of dust jacket. VG+/Poor. Frontispiece plus fourteen color plates. Dust jacket is in pieces with most of the front and rear panels and a portion of the spine in a brand new Brodart clear protective sleeve. The Brangwyn plate tipped onto the front cover is in good condition with light wear. The boards and spine are clean, the binding is strong, the text block tight. The interior is clean with no writing or markings of any kind. All plates are in excellent condition. A very nice copy apart from the jacket, which is scarce. Ships wrapped in bubble wrap and packed with care in a box.
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.
