Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Oxford World’s Classics

Edward FitzGerald’s version of the Rubaiyat of the medieval Persian poet and philosopher Omar Khayyam contains some of the most frequently quoted – and beautiful – lines in English poetry. Daniel Karlin’s richly annotated edition does justice to the scope and complexity of FitzGerald’s lyrical meditation on ‘human death and fate’.
