Rubaiyat, by Omar Khayyam, ISBN 9780828323772, $5.95

Here with a loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse – and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness –
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.

The beautiful quatrains of Omar, the tent-maker, are being read more today than ever before. Lines from the Rubaiyat, such as the ones above, are immortal. But behind the simple beauty of Omar’s verses is a wisdom and a controversial philosophy and code of ethics that has contributed to the lasting quality of these immortal lines. This volume, now as its first Branden Books E-Book edition, contains the standard Edward Fitzgerald’s translation together with his Introduction and extensive footnotes, plus decorative art work by Elihu Vedder.
