The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Omar Khayyám. (Translated by E. A. Johnson.) Read in English by Algy Pug; smcelhiney; Arden; DJRickyV While the translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Edward Fitzgerald has become the best known English language version of this classic poem, it is neither the most complete or accurate rendering of Omar's oeuvre. Among others, E.A.Johnson (also known as Johnson Pasha) spent nearly thirty years translating all 762 verses of the Lucknow Edition of the Rubaiyat. Apart from this singular publication, the life and activities of the translator remain hidden in obscurity. - Summary by Algy Pug For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
