Informazioni su questo audiolibro
Lucretius was born in 99 BC, and On the Nature of Things is his only surviving work. His aim was to free the Roman world from its two great terrorsÊÐ the gods and death. Lucretius argues that the gods are not actively involved in life, so need not be appeased; and that death is the end of everything humanÊÐ body and soulÊÐ and therefore should not be feared. But On the Nature of Things is also a poem of striking imagery, intimate natural observation and touching pathos. It is one of the most influential writings in Western thought.
