NZ$69.00
The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, as translated by Edward FitzGerald, is a collection of quatrains (four-line poems) that reflect on themes of life, mortality, pleasure, and the fleeting nature of time. FitzGerald's 19th-century English adaptation is a loose but highly poetic interpretation of the original Persian verses attributed to Omar Khayyám, an 11th-century Persian poet, mathematician, and astronomer.
