Description:This book is personal philosophical reflections on reading on Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, as translated by Edward Fitzgerald. Only some of the rubai are included, and the ones selected for including are taken from many different editions of the Fitzgerald translation based on my own preference of which was the best. The French translations are my own amateur attempt to convey the basic meaning of a few rubai into modern French. The illustrations are my own gouache and watercolor paintings done in 1995 in Silver Spring Maryland, inspired by those lithographs done by Akbar Tajvidi done in 1955 in Tehran, Iran. This book does not contain the full Edward Fitzgerald translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and is no substitute for reading that work in any of its five editions. It is simply my own "take" on some of the rubai, based on 50 years of thinking about them.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
