    The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám (Unabridged)

    Written by Omar Khayyam

    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám isn't actually a work by Omar Khayyám himself, but rather a collection of his quatrains (four-line poems) translated and arranged by Edward FitzGerald in 1859. These poems explore themes of mortality, the fleeting nature of life, finding joy in the present moment, and questioning the afterlife.

    While some interpretations emphasize a hedonistic pursuit of pleasure, others see a deeper search for meaning and acceptance in the face of the unknown. The work gained widespread popularity and sparked debate for its unconventional and often skeptical views.

    Omar Khayyam

    Omar Khayyam (18 May 1048 – 4 December 1131) was a Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was born in Nishapur, in northeastern Iran, and spent most of his life near the court of the Karakhanid and Seljuq rulers in the period which witnessed the First Crusade. (Wikipedia)
