A Thousand Years of Persian Rubaiyat: An Anthology of Quatrains from the Tenth to the Twentieth Century Along With the Original Persian

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful compilation and set of translations
Review: If you have any interest in Persian literature at all, you must get this book. Among other things, it contains excellent translations of the "Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyam" (The Ferughi edition). But there are ALSO rubi'iyat from Hafez, Rumi, and many other poets. It's a fantastic collection of poetry AND the Farsi and English (both meticulously edited and presented) are together on the same page!

This is a REALLY good book! Highest recommendation!!
