Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical and spiritual world of Omar Khayyam, a 12th-century Persian polymath revered as a poet, astronomer, and mathematician. The author presents a collection of Omar Khayyam's *quatrains*, or four-line poems, and offers insights into their meaning and relevance. The book challenges prevailing notions of Khayyam as a materialist and atheist, arguing instead that his work is infused with a deep faith in God and a complex understanding of fate, life, and death. The author explores the poetic beauty of Khayyam's verses, highlighting the poet's contemplation of nature, his yearning for love, and his awareness of the ephemeral nature of human existence. The book also considers Khayyam's perspective on the divine, examining his views on faith, piety, and the role of the individual in the grand scheme of the cosmos. The author's exploration of Khayyam's work provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of Persian mysticism and the enduring power of poetry to grapple with the most profound questions of life and spirituality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
