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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
