The Illustrated Omar Khayyam
No Customer Reviews
What is the secret of the astounding success of Omar Khayyam? Was it because he made a philosophy of wine, advocating 'Eat, Drink and be Merry'? Or was it mystic wine? Leaving aside such questions the author from his life experience has asked some valid questions in the traditional Rubai'yat form. These are all outside narrow labels we associate with religion. The 265 quatrains faithfully evoke the epigrammatic style of the Persian astronomer-poet. The book carries a foreword by Prof. Mehdi Aminrazavi, the author of 'The Wine of Wisdom'. Specially for this book the author has added some 50 illustrations in watercolor, a treat for any art lover.
