This bilingual (English/Farsi) book strives to make readers more familiar with one of Persia's foremost astronomers and mathematicians of his time. Over nine centuries ago, Omar Khayyam composed one of the greatest lyrical odes that echoed the doubts and hopes of both men and women. He is now revered and renowned as the Persian poet that created the Rubayyat (Quatrains). These quatrains have been written to answer life’s great questions. Although Khayyam, himself, wasn’t certain if dying would mean the end of our soul's being or quite simply reveal all that's behind existence’s curtain. Surely, he’s gained immortal life within this masterful poetical work.
