Aphorisms

Omar Khayyam is a Persian thinker, scholar, and poet, the author of well-known philosophical quatrains called rubaiyat, recognized worldwide. This book collects the poetic aphorisms of Khayyam in the best Russian translations. What are they about? About the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, about love and fate. The lyrical hero appears as a sage contemplating eternity, a rogue-jester, and a desperate man who argues with God himself. The elegant and concise quatrains of Khayyam provide food for thought, comfort in sorrow, and consistently delight readers of all times with their beauty.
