The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám

The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is translated by Edward Fitzgerald. This book of Persian verse is beautifully illustrated by Edmund Dulac. These beautiful quatrains represent some of the best of Persian poetry. They are a joy to read and the illustrations are exquisite.

Ratings: 8th grade - 9 out of 10.
