Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

The 'Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam' is a collection of quatrains attributed to the Persian poet Omar Khayyam, with the most famous English translation by Edward Fitzgerald. However, E.A. Johnson's translation, which took nearly thirty years to complete, encompasses all 762 verses from the Lucknow Edition, providing a more comprehensive rendering of Khayyam's work. This collection explores themes of love, fate, and the nature of existence, making it a significant piece of Persian literature and philosophy.
