The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam - A New Translation from the Persian (Hardcover)

A repository of subversive, melancholic and existentialist themes
and ideas, the rubaiyat (quatrains) that make up the collected
poems attributed to the 12th century Persian astronomer Omar
Khayyam have enchanted readers for centuries. In this modern
translation, complete with critical introduction and epilogue, Juan
Cole elegantly renders the verse for contemporary readers.
Exploring such universal questions as the meaning of life, fate and
how to live a good life in the face of human mortality, this
translation reveals anew why this singular collection of poems has
struck a chord with such a temporally and culturally diverse
audience, from the wine houses of medieval Iran to the poets of
Western twentieth century modernism.
