Ever wondered how a Persian mathematician became one of the world's most celebrated poets? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating life of Omar Khayyam—a brilliant astronomer, mathematician, and perhaps a poet—whose discoveries shaped calendars, algebra, and even geometry centuries ahead of their time. From surviving nomadic invasions to impressing kings and leaving a mark on both science and literature, Khayyam's story is full of adventure, intellect, and a touch of mystery. Join us as we unravel the man behind the Rubáiyát and explore the legacy that still echoes today.   This episode was prepared with the help of AI, and the content is written by OYLA authors.

Tonight, for our Snoozecast+ Deluxe bonus episode, we'll read from "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" translated poetically into English by Edward Fitzgerald. This first edition, inspired by Persian rhymed quatrains, together known as a “rubaiyat”, were rooted in the 11th to 12th century. They reflect the philosophical musings of the original author Khayyam who was not only a poet, but an accomplished mathematician and astronomer. As a seminal piece of Persian literature, the collection delves into themes related to the transience of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness amidst the inevitability of death. The content of the "Rubaiyat" encapsulates a dialogue between the speaker and the cosmos, often expressed through the metaphor of wine and revelry. The Rubáiyát also made its way into American pop culture, perhaps most charmingly in the classic 1957 musical The Music Man. In one scene, it's cited as one of the books the mayor's wife wants banned from the town library. The book's verses are condemned for their supposed licentiousness—proof, perhaps, of just how intoxicating these quatrains have always been. Though in truth, the work is more meditative than scandalous, filled with musings on time, nature, and the fleeting sweetness of life. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ Deluxe to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

One of the most iconic cinematic moments of 1981, Umrao Jaan is widely considered to be Rekha's most celebrated performance. Directed by Muzaffar Ali and with enduring music by Khayyam, Rekha plays the role of a famous courtesan who navigates love and family in the midst of the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Costarring Naseeruddin Shah, Farooq Shaikh, Raj Babbar, Shaukat Azmi, Dina Pathak and others, Umrao Jaan is an essential part of 80s Hindi cinema.

Francesco Occhetto, Faezeh Mardani"Poeti Iraniani"Dal 1921 a oggiMondadori Editorewww.mondadori.ithttps://www.oscarmondadori.it/libri/poeti-iraniani-aa-vv/Paese delle cupole celesti, di profeti e sfarzosi sovrani, di deserti e di lussureggianti giardini, terra di santi, carovanieri e astronomi, l'Iran è noto in Occidente o per il suo passato leggendario oppure per il suo drammatico presente. Echi di un mondo fiabesco da Mille e una notte si sono mescolati, nell'immaginario collettivo, con scene tratte dai reportage di viaggi esotici facendo – di quella iraniana – una cultura tanto idealizzata quanto, nel profondo, poco conosciuta. Tutti da scoprire, per i lettori italiani, sono sia lo speciale rapporto che lega gli iraniani alla poesia (la poesia tout court ma anche la tradizione classica di Firdusi, Hafez, Sa'di, Rumi, Khayyam, ‘Attar, per fare solo qualche nome) sia il fondamentale contributo che l'Iran ha dato alla lirica del Novecento – in termini ora di opposizione ora di testimonianza dei profondi mutamenti politico-culturali che hanno segnato la storia del Paese. Sono trascorsi poco più di cento anni dalla nascita della Poesia nuova, il movimento poetico che nel 1921 portò la letteratura dell'Iran ad aprirsi al mondo entrando nella modernità. Un secolo che questa antologia documenta allineando i dodici poeti più rappresentativi, con i loro volti, le biografie, i versi. Dal fondatore della Poesia nuova, Nima Yushij, alla voce sperimentale e innovativa del poeta-profeta Ahmad Shamlu, il cui grido contro la corruzione e la censura ha scosso le coscienze; da Ziya' Movahhed, con la sua scrittura minimale, limpida ed euritmica, a Garous Abdolmalekian, interprete di una vibrante poesia civile. Da Shafiei Kadkani, grande esperto di retorica classica che, sulla scia di Akhavan Sales e Sohrab Sepehri, fonde la tradizione letteraria con le più amare riflessioni contemporanee, a Seyyed ‘Ali Salehi, fautore della Poesia parlata. Imprescindibile presenza è quella della libera e personalissima testimonianza di Forugh Farrokhzad, la cui poetica intimista e spregiudicata dà voce alle emozioni e alla determinazione di una giovane donna in cerca di libertà espressiva; e poi, ancora, si va dal poliedrico cineasta Abbas Kiarostami, all'art pour l'art di Bijan Jalali e Yadollah Royai che, distaccandosi dall'impegno civile, si concentrano sulla resa estetica e filosofica del testo attraverso lo sperimentalismo. Una galleria di figure poetiche diversissime tra loro, per intonazione e generazione, qui convocate a rappresentare la voce di un intero popolo. Lo scrive Kiarostami: «Dalla feroce sorte / il rifugio è poesia / dalla crudele amata / il rifugio è poesia / dalla palese tirannia / il rifugio è poesia».IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Guest: Juan Cole is a public intellectual, prominent blogger and essayist, and the Richard P. Mitchell Collegiate Professor of History at the University of Michigan. He is the translator of The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyam: A New Translation from the Persian. Omar Khayyam (1048 – 1131) was a Persian astronomer and mathematician born in Nishapur in northeastern Iran who lived and worked at the courts of the Seljuk dynasty. Modern scholars agree that there is very little (if any) of the collected work of poetry know as the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam that can be certainly attributed to the historical figure. A tradition of attribution grew up in the centuries after Khayyam's death which culminated in Edward Fitzgerald's translation in the 19th Century.

#SessionLive avec Toni Green. L'ancienne choriste américaine de Isaac Hayes sort un album Memphis Made. Shadi Fathi présente l'album «Âwât», que la virtuose iranienne du setar a conçu avec le percussionniste Bijan Chemirani. Notre 1ère invitée Toni Green vient chanter 2 titres de son nouvel album Memphis Made.  La chanteuse soul Toni Green fait partie des secrets les mieux gardés de la sphère soul actuelle. Originaire de Memphis où elle a longtemps œuvré dans l'entourage du grand Isaac Hayes, et des studios Stax, Toni Green a connu des débuts musicaux précoces. «Mon père était musicien et tout le monde venait répéter à la maison. Les Bar-Kays, backing band d'Otis Redding (!), les Mad Lads, tout ce que la ville comptait de musiciens défilait dans notre salon et notre back-yard !» Elle interprète 2 titres dans le Grand studio avec ses musiciens français. Titres interprétés au Grand studio - Roller Coaster Love Live RFI - Sick & Tired, extrait de l'album Memphis Made - Memphis Made Live RFI. Line-Up : Toni Green, voix ; Eddy Leclerc, guitare électrique ; Paul Héroux, batterie ; Thomas Planque, basse ; Clément Priou, orgue et claviers. Sébastian Danchin : régie artiste et coordination artistique et traduction de l'interview. Son : Benoît Letirant, Fabien Mugneret. ► Album Memphis Made (Sound Surveyor Music 2022).  Puis nous recevons la musicienne kurde iranienne Shadi Fathi. Les cultures musicales prennent parfois un éclat inconnu loin de leur source nourricière. La rencontre à Marseille, en 2016, entre Shadi Fathi et Bijan Chemirani relève de ce genre d'étincelle précieuse, d'une mise en dialogue fertile sur les cimes de la musique persane. Née à Téhéran, Shadi s'est formée auprès d'Ostad Dariush Talaï, grand maître de la musique savante persane, avant de s'imposer en soliste d'exception par sa virtuosité au setâr et au shourangiz, des instruments traditionnels à cordes. Bijan est lui devenu une référence du zarb, une percussion ancestrale iranienne, aux côtés de son père mais aussi au fil de multiples projets depuis la France. Le duo présente dans son premier album, Delâshena des inspirations classiques et des fulgurances contemporaines dans un foisonnement rythmique propice aux improvisations, éclairées de lectures de poèmes persans, de Mowlana Rumi ou Sohrab Sepehri. Une conversation délicate menée avec une sublime maestria… Leur complicité artistique les a amenés à composer de nouveaux morceaux, toujours inspirés par la richesse et la diversité de la musique iranienne et par la poésie persane. Ainsi est né Âwât («grand désir» en kurde). Titres diffusés : Khâb o Khiyâl, Setâr solo, Khayyam, Tchenine Bâdâ, extraits de l'album Âwât.  ► Album Âwât (Buda Musique 2022).

The Somerton Man - Mystery Solved?

On December 1, 1948, an unknown man was found lying dead on the sand on Somerton Beach next to the neighborhood of Glenelg, about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Adelaide, South Australia. He had no money or identification on him, the labels in his clothing were cut off, and his minimal possessions yielded no clues. Further adding to the mystery, a rolled-up scrap of paper with the Persian phrase "tamám shud," translating to "is over" or "is finished," was found in the man's watch pocket around the time of his autopsy. The scrap was later discovered torn from a copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, a circa 11th-century collection of poems by Khayyam, known as "the Astronomer-Poet of Persia." The book found tossed into a car after a public appeal by the police appeared to have previous writing indentations on a page adjacent to the torn-out one, revealing a local phone number and text speculated to be a coded message. With no further clues as to the Somerton Man's identity other than an abandoned suitcase left at the Adelaide railway station, a plaster cast was made of the man's bust following the coroner's inquest, and the body was embalmed nine days after its discovery and buried. For almost 74 years, the mystery of the Somerton has intrigued authorities, amateur sleuths, and the general public, including physicist, Electrical and Electronic Engineering professor Dr. Derek Abbott. For over a decade, Dr. Abbott and his team of grad students at the University of Adelaide worked on cracking the code found in the Rubaiyat and attempting to arrange a genetic DNA analysis. In partnership with internationally recognized forensic genealogist Dr. Colleen Fitzpatrick, Abbott and Fitzpatrick announced on July 26, 2022, that they have finally uncovered the identity of Australia's most famous "John Doe." Extracting DNA from chest hairs found in the Somerton Man's plaster cast has led them to a name and an occupation. But will this name lead to solving the remaining puzzle pieces? Pathologists at the time believed he was likely poisoned, but why, and by whom? Was there a Cold War connection, and why did he spend his last day in Adelaide? Circling back to the alternate name for this case, tamám shud, is this mystery really over, is it finished? Visit our webpage on this episode for a lot more information.

On Thursday April 4th, 2013 the Hermetic Hour, with host Poke Runyon, will present a discussion on the Sufis and Islamic mysticism. This is a subject that is impossible to fathom and difficult to summarize. The reason it is so difficult to understand lies in Sufism's passion for non-literal, allegorical and paradoxical teaching deriving in part from its fear of being persecuted by orthodox Islam for heresy; a very real fear which endangers Sufi circles all over the world at the present time. We will briefly outline the history of Sufism and highlight the work some of its legendary teachers with their profound, and sometimes humorous parables. We will recall the famous Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, comparing the Western version to what Khayyam actually wrote. Gurdjieff's debt to Sufism will be noted. We will outline the so-called "Arabic Kabbalah" sometimes called "Abjad", and discuss the controversial book "The Other Islam" on present day Sufism by Stephen Schwartz. So, if you want to find out what you don't know about the Sufis tune in and be mystified.
