The Rubaiyat of Ohow Dryyam With Apologies to Omar

About this book

In the early 20th century, as the specter of Prohibition loomed over society, J. L. Duff crafted "The Rubaiyat of Ohow Dryyam With Apologies to Omar," a witty homage to the timeless "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam." This collection of verses captures the essence of unyielding human spirit and the pursuit of joy amidst restrictive societal norms. Through Duff's clever wordplay, readers encounter themes of hedonism and the absurdity of laws that seek to govern personal freedom. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this work invites a critical examination of the era's cultural shifts while celebrating the resilience of individual expression. Explore the juxtaposition of tradition and modernity in this thought-provoking poetic journey.
