These translations are not always successful in conveying to the non-Iranian reader the real sense of Omar Kayyam. The best-known rednitions depart considerably from the Persian originals. I agree with the enlightened man of letters who said: In order to be able to feel these men Ferdowski Khayyam Hafez and Rumi in t he marrow of your bones the mastery of Persian is not enough. One has to be an Iranian. It was for this reason that for the different editions of The Wine of Nishapur new translations were undertaken by knowledgeable and competent Iranian translatorrs. The readers of the English edition have the opportunity to compare Karim Emami's fine new renderings with some of the older versions." ; "In these original masterpieces that link the East and the West visuals also include many Persian calligraphic transcriptions of the Rubaiyat by Master Nasrollah Afjei. The poems are penned in their original writing. The plates are the fruit of extensive research as to form and color in compositions of rare exquisite beauty and they confer to the publication a very special quality. If Omar Khayyam will always be a source of delight to the lovers of poetry the book was also created with the aim of attracting new readers and admirer " from publisher. ; FINE/FINE Souffles, Paris, ©1988 paperback
