About this book

In the early 20th century, as bridge emerged as a favored pastime among social elites, Carolyn Wells crafted "The Rubáiyát of Bridge," a whimsical poetic parody that intertwines the strategic intricacies of the card game with the lyrical elegance of Omar Khayyam's classic. This clever work celebrates the unyielding spirit of competition and camaraderie found at the card table, while playfully echoing themes of fate and fortune. With its unique blend of humor and insight, this document invites students, civic activists, and literary enthusiasts alike to explore the art of bridge through a poetic lens. Dive into a world where every hand dealt is a verse waiting to be played, and discover the charm of this delightful literary fusion.
