Lucretius On Life And Death: In The Meter Of Omar Khayyam

Lucretius On Life And Death: In The Meter Of Omar Khayyam is a poetic translation of the philosophical work of the ancient Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius. The book is an attempt to capture the essence of Lucretius' work in a form that is both accessible and enjoyable to modern readers. The translation is written in the meter of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poet and mathematician who lived in the 11th century. The book explores the themes of life and death, and the nature of the universe and human existence. It is a meditation on the fragility of life, the inevitability of death, and the importance of living in the present moment. The book is a timeless classic that offers insights into the human condition that are as relevant today as they were when Lucretius first wrote them over 2,000 years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
