    Treat Yourself to 1000 Years Old Poetry!!!!
  

*by E***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2019*

Review Written May20, 2019Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Translated by Edward FitzgeraldOmar Khayyam (May 18, 1048 – December 4, 1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was born in Nishapur, Iran, and spent most of his life near the court of the Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed the First Crusade. Omar's "Rubaiyat" is a form of Persian language poetry written in four lines, referred to as quatrains. His poetry was introduced to the English-reading world in a translation by the esteemed Eastern-Indian Areas Studies scholar Edward FitzGerald. FitzGerald's work entitled the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, in1859 enjoyed great success. Fitzgerald's introduction and translation footnotes provide valuable insights which assist in understanding of Omar's poetry. Personally, I appreciated this glimpse into the thoughts of a person who lived 1000 years ago. It is interesting that many of Omar's thoughts, his likes, concerns, fears, and regrets are not that differnt than my own. I recommend this work to everyone.

    Celebrating Life…
  

*by J***I on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2015*

With death dominating the news, due to the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, and the inevitable linkage to the Middle East, I decided that a useful counterpoint would be a review of a very famous celebration of life that also originated from the same region. When Europe was in its “Dark Ages,” the late 11th and early 12th centuries, a polymath shined in Persia (modern-day Iran). Omar Khayyam was a mathematician and astronomer, and wrote numerous treatises on mechanics, geography, mineralogy, and an extremely influential one on algebra. His “Rubaiyat” demonstrates that he was much more than what might be dubbed “a Middle Ages nerd.”The Rubaiyat is a series of quatrains (four lines of verse). Fittingly enough, Khayyam opens with the beginning of the day, or, as he phrases it much more poetically: “And Lo! The Hunter of the East has caught The Sultan’s Turret in a Noose of Light.” Woven throughout this work is the very transient nature of life… that we must make the very best of every day that we have been given. He states that sentiment, well, much more memorably: “Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring; The Winter Garment of Repentance fling; The Bird of Time has but a little way; To fly-and Lo! The Bird is on the Wing.”I had long admired the Gertrude Bell, and her willingness to explore the Middle East around the commencement of the 20th century. She too had a poetic “eye” for the desert regions, and described them lovingly in 

  
The Desert and the Sown: Travels in Palestine and Syria









  
  
    
  .  I had no idea that she had borrowed her title from one of Khayyam’s quatrains, specifically: “With me along some Strip of Herbage strown; That just divides the desert from the sown; Where name of Slave and Sultan scarce is known; And pity Sultan Mahmud on his Throne.”  Certainly a way of celebrating the frontier, far from political concerns.Khayyam successfully identified the four essential ingredients of life, in verse that has been repeated in many fashions, and varying formats: “Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough; A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse and Thou; Beside me singing in the Wilderness; And Wilderness is Paradise Now.” Amazon is currently proclaiming “solidarité” (with the people of France) and so shall I, and change the aforementioned “Thou” to “Toi.”  And note that the natural world beckons. Never forgetting the necessity, nay, the imperative to hurry, for: “The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon; Turns Ashes- or it prospers; and anon; Like Snow upon the Desert’s dusty Face; Lighting a little Hour or two – is gone.”The translation is by the Orientalist, Edward Fitzgerald. This edition is accompanied by one of those soporific introductions that debate the validity and attributions of the various quatrains. Skip! Yes, in the imperative. Concentrate once, twice and three times on the fresh baked bread under the tree, the all-important Toi, and don’t let the ants, as in introduction, spoil the picnic. 5-stars.

    Wonderful product with beautiful illustrations
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2017*

I sometimes think that never blows so redThe rose as were some buried Cæsar bled;That every Hyacinth the garden wearsDropt in its lap from some once lovely headI originally ordered this because I learned about the mysterious case of the Somerton man. "tamám shud" was printed on a scrap of paper found months later in the fob pocket of the man's trousers. The scrap had been torn from the final page of a copy of Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I thought I would get some minimalistic paper back book but instead got an amazing, beautiful copy with fantastic illustrations.
