«Rubaiyyat» is Omar Khayyam's poetry collection, published by Ediciones 29 in paperback (95 pages, in Spanish).
The celebrated poems of the Persian poet Omar Khayyam celebrate life's fleeting joys and pleasures with a serene scepticism about what human beings can achieve. The work invites readers to enjoy the present and to look with irony at the questions that run through existence, and it remains one of the great classics of poetry.
Translation and preface by Ramón Hervás; part of the Grandes Autores collection.
For readers of classical poetry and philosophy seeking a brief work with universal questions.
Omar Khayyam (1048–1131) was a Persian poet and polymath, known for his contributions to mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and Persian literature. He was born in Nishapur, Iran and lived during the Seljuk era, around the time of the First Crusade.
