The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Fitzgerald 5th edition) by Omar KHAYYÁM (1048 - 1131), translated by Edward FITZGERALD (1809 - 1883) Genre(s): Poetry Read by: Nathan in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Quatrains 1-20 00:07:30 - 02 - Quatrains 21-40 00:14:51 - 03 - Quatrains 41-60 00:22:10 - 04 - Quatrains 61-80 00:29:43 - 05 - Quatrains 81-101 The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám is so-named from the Persian word rubáiyát - a Persian word denoting a specific type of two-line stanza. Omar's Rubaiyat is a beautiful anthology of Islamic wisdom literature: originally penned in medieval Persian during the late 11th century AD. The best known English translations are those by Edward Fitzgerald: his fifth (and last) translation includes a mere 101 quatrains - a fraction of Omar's original work. Fitzgerald's selection loosely groups quatrains by theme; rendering quatrains into English as four-line, rhymed stanzas. Omar's writings are pervaded by the consciousness of the transient quality of life. In his Rubáiyát, the author ponders the limits of human knowledge and morality: and confronts his readers point-blank with the difficult questions that challenge every generation: - what is the ultimate benefit derived from human knowledge? - given human mortality; is is best to guide our lives by the dictates of reason, or sensuality? - what happens to my soul when I die? - why did God - the Creator - give me existence?
