Produktbeschreibung
Oh, come with old Khayyám, and leave the Wise To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies; One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies; The Flower than once has blown for ever dies. -XXVI Though it's difficult to imagine, these 12th-century stanzas-oft quoted and frequently looked to for inspiration by those seeking to live life to the fullest-did not come to the public's attention until Edward FitzGerald published them in English in 1859... and even then they were ignored until the painter Dante Rossetti discovered a remaindered copy two years later and excitedly spread news of it around his intellectual and artistic circles. Not a direct translation, these liberal interpretations make Khayyám's verse accessible to readers in the English language. Several editions of FitzGerald's work are included in this volume, allowing the reader multiple approaches to their wisdom and beauty. Persian astronomer and poet OMAR KHAYYÁM (1048-1131) also authored works on music and mathematics. British poet and translator EDWARD FITZGERALD (1809-1883) also wrote Polonius: A Collection of Wise Saws and Modern Instances (1852) and translated from the Spanish Six Dramas of Pedro Caulderon (1853).

Autorenporträt
Pimp killers. Bounty hunter gangs. This isn't your typical graphic novel publisher. And that's exactly what creator and writer, Ghezal Omar, was going for when she launched Artillery Network. Ghezal Omar became the 1st Afghan-American graphic novelist in comicbook history with .357 Magnum Opus, which depicts the dark entanglements of an unflinching female bounty hunter and the ties that bind her. Continuing her dedication to redefining the female-driven action genre with stylish, adrenaline-fueled thrillers, Omar's newest title, Pimp Killer, delves into the dark underbelly of a degenerate society. Her works have garnered interest from WME, Oxygen Network and have recently been featured on ABC, Spectrums News, and LA TIMES. "I was determined to create a female heroine who was more than willing to serve her own brand of justice."
