Description

Omar Khayyam is known to millions as the author of the Rubaiyat. Yet he was also a mathematical genius, an herbalist's son who became a confidant of kings, and an exile who was hunted by assassins. Widely praised for its breadth and scholarship, in this revealing biography Hazhir Teimourian brings to life one of the greatest and most popular of poets.

Author Biography:

Hazhir Teimourian is uniquely qualified to present this work. Born in the Kurdish highlands of Iran, Hazhir came to England to study. Educated in classical Persian and Arabic, he has been, for over 30 years, a commentator in English for a host of Western television stations on international relations and the Middle East. His first love has always been literature, and he has spent a decade researching Omar Khayyam's life.
