3.The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam and other Persian Poems

By Arberry, A.J. editor.:

Bookseller has only 1 copy at this price.

Book condition: Very Good

Book Description

London: Dent, , 1986. Paperback. Very Good. An Every Man's Paperback. About 7.5 x 5 inches. 239pp inc index of poets and translators and glossary. For this anthology of Persian poems the late Professor Arberry has taken a selection of passages translated from Omar Khayyam (in Edward FitzGerald's famous version) and the more mystical Rumi among practitioners of the quatrain, and lyrics by Sana'i, Sa'di, Iraqi, Hafiz and seven others. The odes include those of Farrukhi and Bahar, and the selection concludes with extended passages from the epic Shah - nama, or Book of Kings, of Firdausi. Altogether twenty-five Persian poets of this classical period (which corresponds to our Middle Ages) are represented, and there is poetry of more recent times. In shaping his selection the editor bore in mind the importance of the readability of the English version as poetry; all the examples collected in this volume are in metre; most are also rhymed.
