Description
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as translated by Edward Fitzgerald has long been one of the most beloved, and least understood, poems in the English language. In illuminating new interpretations, the author reveals the mystical essence of this enigmatic masterpiece. Commonly thought to be a celebration of wine and other earthly pleasures, these lyrical Persian quatrains find their true voice when read as a hymn.
