    The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 65min
    Isaac Dooman (1857-1931), clergyman, traveler, and linguist, was born in Iran. For 25 years he served as an Episcopalian missionary in Japan and later moved permanently to the United States. One of his four children was Eugene Dooman, who became an influential diplomat and who had a significant role in wartime negotiations between Japan and the USA. Dooman's translation of the Rubaiyat, containing 180 quatrains, was first published in 1911. It has a roughhewn quality, reminiscent of the style of an earlier American translator, John Payne, who published a collection of 845 quatrains in 1898. In the introduction the translator writes: "Omar has expressed the inner and hidden thoughts of the individual man in such an unmistakable language that the simplest of human beings can recognize in them his own yearnings and aspirations. There is not a single quatrain whose sentiments have not been expressed by every man and woman living - if not in public, then assuredly in private. Just here is the point of Omar's unique grandeur - he has revealed the innermost thoughts of our nature in a manner that no other writer, ancient or modern, has ever succeeded doing. "How far the present translation will be found successful in familiarizing the reading public with the true language of Omar's quatrains, it has to be left to the judgment of the individual reader. All that the translator wishes to say is that he has spared no effort in selecting the most genuine ones and giving them an English dress that Omar himself might have mistaken for the real Persian." ungekürzt.

    The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Annotated , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
    The Rubaiyat of Omar KhayyamTranslated by Edward FitzGeraldNarrated by Denis DalyOmar Khayyam (1048 -1131) was a true polymath. A distinguished mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher, he is best known today for his Rubaiyat, a collection of rubai, or rhyming quatrains, of which he is estimated to have composed at least 500. Together with the work of Hafiz and Rumi, Khayyam's poetry represents the high point of classical Persian literature.Edward Fitzgerald was neither the first nor the most scholarly of the translators of the quatrains of Omar Khayyam, but due to his remarkable abilities as a poet, his versions have been accepted as classic literature in their own right.During his lifetime Fitzgerald published four editions of his translation - 1859, 1868, 1872, and 1879 - and a fifth edition was released posthumously in 1889.In this recording are presented readings of all five editions as well as biographical material about Fitzgerald and Omar Khayyam and a laudatory poem by Andrew Lang, which were published as part of the fourth edition.Production copyright 2020 Voices of Today. ungekürzt.

    Omar Khayyam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 51min
    John Pollen (1855-1923) was an official in the Indian Civil Service. A keen linguist, he learned Russian, Esperanto, and Persian and in 1915 published an English translation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. His collection contains 158 quatrains and includes a set of seven prefatory quatrains by Andrew Lang and a foreword by the Aga Khan. John Pollen was a keen activist against discrimination against Indians, and his translation of the Rubaiyat was published to raise funds for the welfare of Indian soldiers engaged in World War I. In the foreword, the Aga Khan wrote: 'The charm of the Rubayiat, which lies in the intensely human spirit pervading them, is enhanced by the poet's inimitable directness of expression, his terse and incisive phrases and a simple grace of style, with that unrivalled and untranslatable music of words to which the sonorous language of Persia peculiarly lends itself. To reproduce these subtle features of the original in a translation is not an easy undertaking. FitzGerald succeeded in a remarkable degree in bringing out the spirit of Omar's quatrains in his famous translation; which in some respects transcends the beauty of the original, but to achieve this end he had to diverge from the letter of the Rubayiat as well as from the sequence of the verses. Dr. John Pollen in his more faithful translation has accomplished a task of greater difficulty, and has done justice both to the letter and to the spirit of the original. In its simple and attractive garb the version now offered to the public, for the benefit of the Indi an soldiers who are now laying down their lives for the Empire on the battlefields of three continents, deserves to find a place on the bookshelves of the numerous admirers of the poet in the English-speaking world.' ungekürzt.

    Elizabethan Sonnets & Lyrics, Hörbuch, Digital, 36min
    The writing of sonnets was a craze among poets of the 1590s. The sonnet, an Italian form, was introduced into England by Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542), who modelled himself on Petrarch, and by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517-1547). It was Surrey who invented what is now known as the Shakespearean sonnet - three differently rhyming quatrains and a clinching couplet. This collection of Elizabethan sonnets and lyrics were recorded by Anthony Quayle. Language: English. Narrator: Anthony Quayle.
