About the Book:

Umar Khayyam and His Age by Otto Rothfeld presents a rich historical and literary study of Omar Khayyam, one of the most celebrated intellectual figures of the medieval Islamic world. The book explores Khayyam’s poetry, especially the famous Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, within the broader context of Persian culture, Islamic philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and the intellectual climate of his era. Rothfeld examines the social and political environment of the Abbasid period while discussing Khayyam’s contributions as a scholar and thinker whose influence extended beyond literature into science and philosophy. Combining biography, literary criticism, and historical analysis, the work offers readers valuable insight into Persian civilization and medieval intellectual history. Published by D. B. Taraporevala Sons & Co. Private Ltd, this hardback edition is an important read for those interested in Persian literature, Islamic history, philosophy, and classical poetry.
