Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám: Special Facsimile Edition

Omar Khayyam's haunting, timeless verses were translated into English by Edward FitzGerald and first published in 1859. That first edition is presented here in facsimile, accompanied by computer-generated typesetting of the later editions, providing a 'complete edition'. Persian astronomer-poet Omar Khayyam, writing nearly a thousand years ago, picks a path through life's uncertainties, musing on fate, transience and mortality, urging his reader to live in the moment and find joy in simple, everyday pleasures.

The Lady of Shalott is one of the best-loved poems in the English language. The tale of the mysterious, enigmatic Lady seems to captivate everyone's imagination. Over a century and a half after it was written, men still desire the Lady, and women identify with her. In this edition, the work is embellished by four Victorian illustrations.A new Introduction by Jocelyn Almond explores the poem's perennial appeal. For the first time, The Lady of Shalott has been typeset in the beautiful Doves Type of the early twentieth century, designed for the quality, hand-made editions of a private press. Doves Type was made in only one size, the size used in this book.

Seneca on Friendship, Death, and Poverty

This essay connects the author's experience of current affairs to his personal story of grief, attempting a fusing of the autobiographical with the polemical and political. It places personal despair into a global context of political manipulation to which we are all subject, whether its victims are aware of it or not, drawing on the work of documentary film-maker Adam Curtis as its impetus.

Stoic Serenity: A Practical Course on Finding Inner Peace

Readers who enter upon this practical course in the Stoic art of living will learn how Stoic principles are linked to real life, and how to enjoy the 'smooth flow of life' of the Stoic Sage who follows nature and holds to virtue, finding fearlessness, inner peace, and freedom from troubles. Readers will gain maximum advantage from the course if they acquire copies of Seneca's Letters from a Stoic (Penguin Books), and the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius (the Robin Hard translation from Wordsworth Editions is recommended). The text expands on a correspondence course previously made available by the Stoic Foundation. One student commented: 'I believe this course has changed my life, and I cannot thank you enough' - DN, Australia. The book is illustrated with pen and ink drawings.
