Omschrijving
In "My Rubaiyat," Sadakichi Hartmann presents a captivating reinterpretation of the classic Persian poetry of Omar Khayyam. Through his free-verse adaptation, Hartmann marries Eastern elegy with Western modernity, crafting a lyrical tapestry that contemplates the nature of existence, love, and the passage of time. His style is characterized by rich imagery and philosophical musings, making the text both a personal expression and a broader meditation on life's impermanence. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this work reflects the burgeoning interest in Eastern literature among Western audiences and the emerging symbolic forms of poetic expression of that era. Sadakichi Hartmann, an influential figure in the American avant-garde movement, was a polymath whose diverse background included Japanese ancestry and extensive travel. His unique perspective and early exposure to various cultures significantly influenced his writing. Hartmann's engagement with art, poetry, and philosophy led him to seek deeper meanings in Khayyam's verses, prompting him to transcend mere translation and create an original work that speaks to contemporary sensibilities. Readers seeking to explore the intersections between Eastern and Western thought will find "My Rubaiyat" a profound and enriching experience. Hartmann's masterful blend of poetic form and philosophical insight invites contemplation and reflection, making it an essential read for lovers of poetry and those curious about the timeless questions of existence.
