Lucretius' On the Nature of Things

by Lucretius  ·  translated by Julian K. Morrow

A new English translation, made directly from the original language.

A poem two thousand years old that already knew the universe was atoms and empty space, the mind mortal, and the fear of death the one thing worth curing. Lucretius's epic of science and serenity, in a new verse translation from the Latin.
