Carolyn Wells' 'The Rubáiyát of Bridge' is a captivating and unique take on the traditional Rubáiyát style, with the game of bridge as its central theme. The book combines elements of poetry, philosophy, and card playing to explore themes of strategy, chance, and human nature. Wells' writing is clever and engaging, drawing readers into the world of bridge and allowing them to see the game in a new light. The book can be seen as a literary experiment, blending the structure of traditional poetic forms with the modern game of bridge. Wells' wit and humor shine through in her mastery of both worlds. This book is a must-read for fans of poetry, card games, and those interested in innovative literary forms. Carolyn Wells, known for her diverse literary output, brings her expertise in both poetry and games to create a truly unique reading experience in 'The Rubáiyát of Bridge.' Wells' background as a prolific author and poet undoubtedly influenced her decision to write a book that merges two seemingly disparate subjects. Her playful approach to language and form, as well as her deep understanding of both poetry and bridge, make this book a standout work in her impressive bibliography. I highly recommend 'The Rubáiyát of Bridge' to readers looking to enjoy a blend of literary artistry and intellectual stimulation.
