About the Book

W. H. Mallock cherished Edward Fitzgerald's translation of Omar Khayyam's "Rubaiyat". Then he found that 1st century B.C. Roman poet, Lucretius, expressed an almost identical philosophy to that of 12th century A.D. Omar Khayyam. So Mallock translated Lucretius' "De Rerum Natura" into quatrains like those of Omar's "Rubaiyat" - the better to compare them. "The Great Bazaar" includes 60 of the 117 quatrains on Mallock's book (now in public domain).
