It includes Edward Fitzgerald’s famous rendering of 101 quatrains (with Edward Heron-Allen’s detailed analysis comparing them to the Persian originals), alongside E.H. Whinfield’s translation of 500 quatrains and J.B. Nicolas’s prose translation of 464 quatrains from the French. Prefaces by each translator and a general introduction are also featured. The volume is a key comparative scholarly edition of Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat, exploring Sufistic, philosophical, and hedonistic themes of life, mortality, wine, and fate. It remains a valuable resource for students of Persian poetry and Victorian literary adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 394 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slightly oversized \u003cspan\u003eoctavo with original dark cloth covered boards, the pages are \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003egilt along the top edge of the text block and \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ea printed paper label on the spine.
