Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a scholar of Persian literature, presents a close reading of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a collection of poems by the 11th-century Persian poet of the same name. The author argues that the Rubaiyat is best understood not as a mystical text, as it has often been interpreted, but as a work of philosophical skepticism that questions the existence of God and the afterlife and celebrates the pleasures of the present world. The author also examines the ways in which the Rubaiyat has been interpreted and reinterpreted over the centuries, from its initial reception in the Persian-speaking world to its popularization in the West in the 19th century by the English poet Edward Fitzgerald. Through a careful analysis of the text and its historical context, this book sheds new light on one of the most famous and influential works of world literature.
