The Nature of ThingsThe acclaimed translation of the classic poem at the heart of Stephen Greenblatt's The Swerve "A plague . . . tests us in unique ways. . . . Only if you can face the invisible bullets all around us, and still keep calm, remain rational, and somehow find it possible to take pleasure in life, have you learned the lesson that The Nature of Things] set out to teach."

The acclaimed translation of the classic poem at the heart of Stephen Greenblatt's The Swerve "A plague . . . tests us in unique ways. . . . Only if you can face the invisible bullets all around us, and still keep calm, remain rational, and somehow find it possible to take pleasure in life, have you learned the lesson that The Nature of Things] set out to teach." --Stephen Greenblatt, The New Yorker Lucretius' poem On the Nature of Things combines a scientific and philosophical treatise with some of the greatest poetry ever written. With intense moral fervour he demonstrates to humanity that in death there is nothing to fear since the soul is mortal, and the world and everything in it is governed by the mechanical laws of nature and not by gods; and that by believing this men can live in peace of mind and happiness. 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 of these subjects made more attractive by the poetry with which he illustrates them.

QC Failure
Color: Black
Retro light works aleatory: Sometimes it activates a couple of seconds when button depressed, sometimes deactivated as soon as you release it. A gross quality control failure in a brand-new watch, very disappointing.
