Masterpieces of Eastern Poetry

"Masterpieces of Eastern Poetry" – this is a journey into the golden age of Persian culture from the 10th to the 15th centuries, which gifted the world with the great poetry of Eastern geniuses, whose verses about love, fate, and... the meaning of life continue to nourish our hearts and souls today. In one luxurious tome, the best poems of 11 great poets and sages of the East are gathered. Omar Khayyam reflects on the vicissitudes of fate and the joys of life, Rumi calls to mystical ecstasy, the great ghazals of Hafiz celebrate love, while Ferdowsi, Nizami, Saadi, Navoi, and Jami create unparalleled epic canvases and poignant lyrics.
Their works have been translated into many languages, they are loved and revered around the world, and it is no coincidence that the great German poet J.W. Goethe emphasized: "The sun of poetry rises in the East".
In this exclusive edition, the immortal lines of rubaiyat, ghazals, qasidas, and famous Eastern poems come to life thanks to magnificent illustrations: masterpieces of Persian painting and miniatures from the 14th to the 19th centuries and works by renowned European artists E. Dulac, J.-L. Gérôme, R. Bull.
