About This Item
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward FitzGerald, is a collection of quatrains that captures the essence of life's fleeting beauty and the inevitability of death, weaving together themes of love, nature, and existential reflection. Its lyrical verses ponder the mysteries of the universe and the human condition, inviting readers to cherish the present moment amidst life's transient joys and sorrows. FitzGerald's translation from Persian to English in the 19th century brought Khayyam's philosophies to the Western world, encapsulating the mystical and contemplative spirit of Persian poetry. This masterpiece remains beloved for its profound wisdom, captivating imagery, and the universal truths it articulates about the human experience.
This edition, illustrated by Edmund Dulac, is filled with 20 stunningly beautiful illustrated plates. The body shows signs of wear, with markings on the cover and spine, but otherwise a solid copy given its age. This is a second printing.
