Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám Perfect cotion book 1955 last price 100 dollars cash please no offers for more information WhatsApp me 70272322 Edward FitzGerald Illustrated by William Morris William Morris’s exquisitely transcribed and illuminated 1872 version of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is reproduced in complete facsimile in this new Folio Society edition Product Gallery Thumbnails The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám holds a unique place in English literature. A sensation of the Victorian age, it remains one of the best-loved poems in English. It was born of an encounter between two minds across seven centuries, when the reclusive Victorian scholar Edward FitzGerald translated a set of verses attributed to the 12th-century Persian poet Omar Khayyám. Each quatrain is a meditation on the fleeting nature of life. Man is compared, variously, to a bubble poured out with wine, a piece on a chess board and a clay pot created by a fickle maker. Filled with the lush opulence of the East as romanticised by the Pre-Raphaelites, the Rubáiyát advocated the pleasures of earthly life – wine, love, song – over the uncertain promise of heaven.
