Since I am not able to calm myself enough to read a whole novel (even though I am still buying everything which looks interesting), I started to read the translated poems of Omar Khayyam again. This time the translations of Edward Henry Winfield. #omarkhayyam #orientallit
Bookwomble I've not read this translator - his verses are interesting. I've got a soft spot for Fitzgerald, though, even if he's very loose in his translation, and easily charged with Orientalism. 4y
MariaW @Bookwomble I bought a version with both translations, the one of Fitzgerald and Whinfield. I started with Fitzgerald and have to say I do prefer his translations over the ones of Whinfield as well. 4y
