In good condition for age. Dark blue cloth boards with gilt lettering and detail on front board and spine. A little marking and scuffing to boards but board colour still quite vivid and gilt detail very vivid. Signs of rubbing and shelf-wear, especially at ends of spine and corners of boards. Corners a little bumped. Binding firm. Page edges a little marked but very clean for age. Previous owner bookplate to front pastedown and signature to FFEP, very slight foxing to endpapers but otherwise page surfaces are very clean, with no underlining, marginalia, etc. See pictures for further information. A nice copy.
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.

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.
