Amazon.com description: Product Description: The Complete series 1-4. 6x9 edition. Fully grayscale-illustrated. This work contains my rubaiyat, illustrated with art from DAZ3D. Theses are new quatrains, not translations of Omar Khayyàm’s Rubàiyàt. As for Omar, he has indeed achieved immortality, since his spirit and words yet resist death by living on in our writings and readings. Thus inspired, I have endeavored to capture Omar’s spirit, for more modern times, to create these new quatrains, although I have surely been influenced by Edward FitzGerald’s translated gems. There is also a prose version, ‘The Triumph of Life, Love, and Being’, in which a loving couple takes a long, picaresque journey through the countryside to explore the joys and follies of the human condition. Long before I’d ever heard of Omar Khayyàm, I had, apparently, come to some of the same conclusions as had he, or so my friend told me one day, saying that I was already living out and proving Omar’s philosophy. Amazed that I hadn’t heard of Omar, my friend gave me a copy of the Rubàiyàt, one of those charming small sized editions from the late 1800’s. Of course the Rubàiyàt stuck a chord in me which was already resonating to Omar’s frequency, so, I read it cover to cover several times, with both wonderment and understanding.
