Anotácia knihy

"Edward FitzGerald (1809-1883) won a small piece of immortality with his translation-adaptation of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam...but in every other way he seems to have successfully avoided fulfilment. A godless Epicurean, he lived in permanent virginity, never pressing his homosexual desires beyond a number of sentimental crushes...The son of a fabulously rich heiress, he rarely travelled...Though he had many friends he also had a perverse penchant for alienating them...Robert Bernard Martin argues that FitzGerald's greatest achievement, outside the Rubaiyat, is his letters, which certainly have grace and a wistful charm". ("Kirkus Review"). "There is [] something sad about the life of this loving and never quite satisfied man...Mr. Martin's biography is splendid reading, and it is a real credit to it that he makes us feel the sadness". ("New York Times").
