Everything you need to understand or teach Rubáiyát_of_Omar_Khayyám (Poems) by Omar Khayyám.
Revered across cultures and epochs for its poetic beauty, wit, and wisdom, the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam offers a glimpse into the staggering intellect of an eleventh century Persian polymath and poet. Edward Fitzgerald’s Fifth Edition refines much of the verse and allows the English-language reader to connect more directly with Omar Khayyam’s poignant philosophy of life. In roughly a hundred quatrains Omar Khayyam manages to ruminate deeply on themes involving the nature of human mortality, eternity, religiosity, and time itself, offering timeless advice on how to grapple with the human condition.
