About the book

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is a celebrated sequence of quatrains associated with the Persian poet, mathematician and astronomer Omar Khayyám. Best known in English through Edward FitzGerald's influential translation, the poems meditate on mortality, fate, love, wine, pleasure and the fleeting nature of life, repeatedly urging the reader to value the present moment in an uncertain world.
