Download Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: Fifth Edition AudioBook Free
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is a poetic marvel, a work that has survived translation into many languages, while getting rid of little of its push and its own wry character. As the way to obtain literary imagery and memorable quotations it ranks with the Bible and the works of Shakespeare. While Edward Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the British translators of the Rubaiyat, his translation has been generally accountable for the world-wide level of popularity of the monument of traditional Persian poetry. Fitzgerald made five editions of his translation, the fifth release, publicized posthumously in 1889, often being considered his most polished version of the work. Narrated by Denis Daly.
