The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam, translated by Edward Fitzgerald, captures Victorian England's fascination with the Orient and features prominently in this audiobook program. Alongside Khayyam's work, listeners will enjoy shorter poems from renowned Persian and Indian poets like Rumi, Sa'di, and Rabindranath Tagore. The second half shifts focus to Western interpretations of Eastern themes, including an excerpt from Thomas Moore's celebrated "Lalla Rookh." A reference guide is available for download to enhance the listening experience.
