Cynical, self-deprecating, witty, mystical, in love with wine and beauty while aware of life and death, Omar's poems put many thoughts we have all had into words we can all enjoy.Fitzgerald first published his translations of Omar's quatrains in 1859, and came out with expanded editions in the later years of the 19th century. This recording draws out the best and most lively versions of each quatrain and links them together thematically, following Fitzgerald's developing arrangements to bring out the bist in his work - and Omar Khayyam's.PoetryPhilosophy891/.5511Khayyam Omar1048-1131437069FitzGerald Edward1809-1883trlBethune Robert1954-nrtAUDIO9910157728503321Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam946873UNINA
