The Nature of Things - (Penguin Classics) by Lucretius (Paperback)

This masterpiece of ancient literature, "On the Nature of Things" by Lucretius, is a groundbreaking work that combines scientific and philosophical ideas with some of the greatest poetry ever written.

With intense moral fervor, Lucretius demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it are governed by mechanical laws of nature, not by gods.

He bases this on the atomic theory expounded by the Greek philosopher Epicurus, and continues with an examination of sensation, sex, cosmology, meteorology, and geology, all made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them.
