I bought this book primarily because I was looking for a translation of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat by Karim Emami. I didn't realize that it only contained 72 quatrains out of the original 1200.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Wine of Nishapur: A Photographer's Promenade in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (Hardcover)
I bought this book primarily because I was looking for a translation of Omar Khayyam's Rubaiyat by Karim Emami. I didn't realize that it only contained 72 quatrains out of the original 1200. The text is accompanied by pictures of natural scenes that pair well with the quatrains, although some photographs lack crispness as a result of enlargement. The book is oversized, so it is probably better suited for a coffeetable rather than your bookshelf. I like the idea of this book, and I am glad I bought it, but it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
