«Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam» is the collection of medieval Persian poems attributed to Omar Khayyam, published by Croner Publications in paperback, in English.
The collection brings together Persian poems of a philosophical and hedonistic tone in which the author contemplates the passage of time, the transience of existence, death and fate. Faced with uncertainty, the verses invite readers to value the present moment, with a blend of melancholy and vitality that retains its force today.
The full title on the cover is «Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam», with illustrations by Willy Pogany.
For readers of classical poetry, philosophy and Persian literature, and for those who value illustrated editions.
Omar Khayyam (1048–1131) was a Persian poet and polymath, known for his contributions to mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and Persian literature. He was born in Nishapur, Iran and lived during the Seljuk era, around the time of the First Crusade.
