Why read it?
1 author picked The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The first time I encountered Omar Khayyam's poetry was through Manly P. Hall's book. I love how Omar's words were translated so beautifully by Edward Fitzgerald. The poetic world he described about life, death, and transformation gives me the chills. I am fascinated by his verses on heaven and hell as well. We honored his poetry in our book (Recrudescence), where the character Jean-Pierre de Brach was captivated by Omar's transformational view of life.
