Ivan Thorzhevsky introduced Russian readers to the world of Omar Khayyam's poetry, helping them to love and appreciate his work. He was the author of the first collection of Khayyam's poems in Russian. Thorzhevsky, the first translator, succeeded in capturing the sonority, paradox, wit, and emotion of the original. Thorzhevsky's quatrains are equivalent in length to the Persian-Tajik Rubaiyat. All translations are written in iambic pentameter and accurately reproduce the rhythm of the Rubaiyat's lines. Reading Thorzhevsky's translations truly delights Omar Khayyam's quatrains.
