Download or read book Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Omar Khayyam (Illustrated) written by Omar Khayyam and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2024-06-15 with total page 1063 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eleventh century Persian mathematician and astronomer, Omar Khayyam is renowned in his own country for his scientific achievements, though he is chiefly known to English-speaking readers through Edward FitzGerald’s 1859 translation of ‘The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám’. A form of verse complete in four lines, employing a rhyme scheme, the ‘quatrain’ is close in style and spirit to the epigram. Each quatrain forms a complete poem in itself, as part of a continuous elegy with intellectual unity and consistency. Although they are extremely free translations, FitzGerald’s ingenious work exerts a compelling verve and succinctness. Having flourished a thousand years ago, Omar Khayyam can be seen as a kindred spirit to other poets that explore existential themes, while celebrating the beauty of the world. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting.
