Synopsis "The Rubaiyat Expanded (in English)"
6x9 hardcover, grayscale, 144 pages. This is an expansion of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. In this expanded Rubaiyat, new Omaresque quatrains have been inserted, many by Omar, and many through Omar's spirit in Austin. Many splendid quatrains are buried deep In the manuscripts of Bodleian's keep And in Calcutta's tome lost, long entombed, Herein given life by enhancement's leap. Expanding The Rubaiyat was quite the ambitious undertaking and so only the best extensions would do: The best versions from FitzGerald's Rubaiyat five editions have been chosen. I've inserted section titles. Nine quatrains that FitzGerald removed have been restored and five quatrains from his notes have been added, making for a new total of 115 quatrains. Quatrains from the Bodleian and Calcutta manuscripts were improved or rewritten and were inserted at the appropriate places. Many of my own best omaresque quatrains were improved and inserted at the appropriate places. Several Rubaiyat-related background themes are presented at the end, many of them containing quatrains: The Find of the Rubaiyat Edition Known as the 'Great Omar'; The Secret Life of Omar's Rubaiyat Poems; On Poetry; Extra Quatrains; The Transmogrification From the Farsi Arabic; Omar's Other Works; Austin's New Calendar; The Answers to Everything.6x9 hardcover, grayscale, 144 pages.
