Ürün Tanıtımı

Revered in eleventh-century Persiaas an astronomer, mathematician and philosopher, Omar Khayyam is now knownfirst and foremost for his Ruba'iyat. The short epigrammatic stanza formallowed poets of his day to express personal feelings, beliefs and doubts withwit and clarity, and Khayyam became one of its most accomplished masters withhis touching meditations on the transience of human life and of the naturalworld. One of the supreme achievements of medieval literature, the recklessromanticism and the pragmatic fatalism in the face of death means these versescontinue to hold the imagination of modern readers.In This translation Persionscholar Peter Avery and poet John Heath-Stubbs have collaborated to recapturethe sceptical unorthodox spirit of the original by providing a near literal Englishversion of the original verse,This edition also includes a map appendices abibliography and an introduction examining the ruba'i form and Khayyam's lifeand times.
