![]() ![]() ![]() It deals with the ultimate questions of life and death while imparting an Epicurean style philosophy of not taking things too seriously. Khayyam’s Rubaiyat is considered a poem for all seasons. Unlike other Persian poets, Khayyam combined his obsession of Persian verse with his insights about philosophy, hence creating something wholly unique to him in the giant and rich inventory of classic Persian literature. Khayyam was a student of Ibn Sina, the Islamic predecessor of Socrates, who studied philosophy under him but more than philosophy, he was attracted to poetry. Because of his contributions, in 1982, NASA decided to name a crater on Moon after him. ![]() Omar Khayyam was an 11th-century polymath from Iran who is better known for his contributions in astronomy and mathematics rather than poetry. It’s believed that when the English painter, John Ruskin first received the copy of Rubaiyat in the 1800s, he described his feelings as, ‘I never did - till this day - read anything so glorious’, a feeling that many many others have come to share since that time. Similarly, Mark Twain and T.S Eliot too had applauded the splendour of Khayyam’s ideas as well as the labour of FitzGerald that went into making those ideas read into sweet and beautiful poetry. It’s believed that Oscar Wilde described Rubaiyat as ‘a masterpiece of art’ placing it with Shakespeare’s sonnets as one of his greatest literary loves. ![]()

It’s the perfect proposition: a fauxmance played out on social media, with strategically staged photographs and a specific end date in mind. Laurie wants a hot new man to give the rumor mill something else to talk about. Jamie Carter doesn’t believe in love, but he needs a respectable, steady girlfriend to impress their bosses. Then a chance encounter in a broken-down elevator with the office playboy opens up a new possibility. When news of her ex’s pregnant girlfriend hits the office grapevine, taking the humiliation lying down is not an option. Her once perfect life is in shambles and the thought of dating again in the age of Tinder is nothing short of horrifying.

There are stories within stories, mystery, mayhem, and a dark history that threatens to consume the city itself as the gray caps, the mysterious and deadly mushroom people who once ruled Ambergris and have since been driven underground, now threaten to rise again. Ambergris bristles with intellectual fervor and religious rivalries it thrives on cultural upheaval, and its politics are never short on intrigue, conspiracy, and even terror.
