Rubaiyat
Description:
"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 enow." The beautiful quatrains of Omar, the tent-maker, are being read more today than ever before. Lines, from the Rubaiyat such as the ones above, are immortal. But behind the simple beauty of Omar’s verses is a wisdom and a controversial philosophy and code of ethics that have contributed to the lasting quality of these immortal lines. This volume, now as its first Branden Books E-Book edition, contains the standard Edward Fitzgerald’s translation together with his Introduction and extensive footnotes, plus decorative art work by Elihu Vedder, a poet in his own right, and one of America’s great artist and book illustrator.
