Edward FitzGerald 
The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám [EPUB ebook] 
First and Fifth Editions

Ondersteuning

Omar Khayyám (1048–1122) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and a philosopher who was not known as a poet in his lifetime. Later, a body of quatrains became attached to his name, although not all were his works. These verses lay in obscurity until 1859, when Edward Fitz Gerald (1809–1883), an English country gentleman, published a free adaptation of this Persian poetry. After its discovery by D. G. Rossetti and others, the verse became extremely popular. Essentially a hedonist and a skeptic, Omar Khayyám, through Fitz Gerald, spoke with both an earthy and spiritual freedom that stirred a universal response. As a result, the Rubáiyát became one of the best-known and most often quoted English classics. The fifth edition, published posthumously in 1889, was based on Fitz Gerald’s handwritten changes in a copy of the fourth edition, and is traditionally printed with the first edition.
