Description:
Immerse yourself in the poetic beauty of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, masterfully translated by Edward FitzGerald and brought to life through the stunning illustrations of Edmund Dulac in this 1937 edition by Garden City Books.
Edward FitzGerald's translation of the Rubaiyat, a task undertaken during a period of personal turmoil in the 1850s, emerged not only as a coping mechanism but as a monumental contribution to English literature.
His encounter with Edward Cowell, a rare Victorian proficient in Persian, was serendipitous, leading to the discovery of a manuscript that would eventually captivate the Western world with its philosophical musings on life, love, and fate.

Beyond The Final Page:
The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is more than a book; it's a journey through the existential and the ephemeral, beautifully encapsulated through FitzGerald's translation and Dulac's illustrations. It invites readers to ponder life's great questions, making it a timeless addition to any library.

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.
-
With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.
-
Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
