    The Ruba'iyat Of Omar Khayyam In Scots - Paperback - Omar Khayyam
    Transformed into Lowland Scots, Rab Wilson's version of the 'Ruba'iyat' changes the backdrop from medieval Persia to modern urban Scotland, where a teeming underclass tell of their regrets, joys and hopes, and realise that essentially nothing has changed since the 'Ruba'iyat' was first written.
