Our imagination and discernment are more than enough to give them life.. This inexpensive CreateSpace paperback and its Kindle ebook companion contain no illustrations. You will also find here FitzGerald’s Notes to the Second Edition, his Introduction to the Third Edition, his essay on Omar Khayyám, and a complete Glossary. Of special note in this still youthful age of self-published books (digital ebooks as well as books ‘Printed-on-Demand’), is the truly astonishing fact that the Rubáiyát was a self-published book, and not only self-published, but anonymously so by its translator, Edward FitzGerald! It was also a financial flop, with the unsold copies remaindered to the penny box in one small bookstore. This CreateSpace/Kindle edition of the Rubáiyát, edited and with a Preface by H.D.
