Dialogs with Omar Khayyam

About the Book

Quiet charm of oriental poetry in the ornamentally depicted quatrains, where each page is decorated with colorful illustrations. This collection is a separate artifact, so perfect that it seems - the poetic and scenic pictures have been painted by one hand. The book can be equally characterized as the collection of poetry, and as the luxurious art album of oriental miniature.
