«Rubayat» is Omar Khayyam's collection of poems, published by Gallimard in paperback (128 pages, in French).
The collection brings together quatrains where the transience of the world, fate and pleasure intertwine in a lucid, sceptical voice, with echoes of Persian wisdom. The poet questions the world's fable without taking anything for granted, glass in hand and an incredulous smile.
1994 edition in the Poésie/Gallimard collection (no. 285), with a preface by André Velter and translation by Armand Robin.
In French, for readers of French poetry and admirers of Persian literature.
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.
