Omar Khayyam is a Persian poet, philosopher, mathematician, and astronomer. In the world he is known as the author of one of the most beautiful poems in world literature in the form of Rubaiyat.
The wisdom of his creative legacy still affects us, staying as fresh and relevant as a thousand years ago. There is even a tarot book Khayyam "Rubio"! Well, perhaps you can get answers to your important questions, listening to this book. After all, it contains the most lively, ironic and invariably wise sayings of Omar Khayyam.
The Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayham is a beautiful work of art much admired from generation to generation. Written in the eleventh century it is here brought to this audiobook by the great and accomplished actor offstage and screen Alfred Drake. Together with the beautiful Sohrab And Rustum by Matthew Arnold it too has its roots in Persian culture.
This appendix to the 1580 edition of the Book of Concord is a compilation of Scripture passages together with citations from the fathers of the ancient Christian Church. They are intended to show that the Christology of the Formula of Concord differs neither in substance nor in terminology from Christian Orthodoxy. (Introduction by Jonathan Lange)
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam as translated into English by Edward Fitzgerald is one of our best-loved books of poetry - and for good reason. 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 best in his work - and Omar Khayyam's.
