Rubayat. Khayyam O.

The famous quatrains-brubai Omar Khayyam (c. 1048-c. 1123) has been translated into Russian for more than a hundred years, but with particular success-since the 70s of the XX century. The collection that you are holding in your hands included the rubies, translated by the wonderful poet and translator of Eastern poetry by German Plisetskiy. “Hayam German Plisetskiy convinces primarily because in his translations the old Iranian sage is a really great poet” (B. Slutsky). The preface of the poet-translator and afterword with the story of his fate.
