Omar Khayyam – Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Rubailer) – Milliyet Yayınları Edition (1973)

Description:

This is the 1973 hardcover edition of Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Rubailer), published by Milliyet Yayınları. The work is attributed to Omar Khayyam, one of the most important intellectual and poetic figures of the medieval Islamic world.

The book presents a selection of Khayyam’s famous rubai (quatrains), featuring both the original Persian texts and their Turkish translations side by side. These short poems reflect on fundamental philosophical themes such as the meaning of life, the passage of time, fate, death, and human existence. Khayyam’s poetry is known for its reflective, sometimes skeptical tone, encouraging readers to question certainty and appreciate the present moment.

Omar Khayyam was also a distinguished mathematician and astronomer, known for his contributions to algebra and calendar reform. Beyond his scientific achievements, his rubai gained worldwide recognition and became one of the most widely translated forms of classical Persian poetry.

This Milliyet Yayınları edition is a hardcover publication with its original dust jacket. Its inclusion of both Persian originals and Turkish translations makes it particularly valuable for readers interested in comparative literature and classical texts.
