Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
Fitzgerald, Edward / Karlin, Daniel
Edward FitzGerald's version of the Rub¿¿of the medieval Persian poet and philosopher Omar Khayy¿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'.
