Rubáiyat of Omar Khayyám.
A handsome copy of The Rubàiyàt of Omar Khayyàm, with colour-plate illustrations after the Hungarian artist Willy Pogany (1882-1955).
The edition was based on Fitzgerald's translation, first published in 1859. The poem presents an interesting challenge to any reader trying to sort through its profound symbolism and not-so-obvious theme, and gained recognition over the course of the nineteenth century as a growing 'cult of the Rubáiyát' found expression in 'the Omar Khayyám Clubs of England and America' (Yohannan, p. 202).
