Publisher's Synopsis

Lucretius On Life And Death, In The Meter Of Omar Khayyam is a book written by William H. Mallock in 1900. The book contains a translation of the works of the ancient Roman poet and philosopher, Lucretius, who wrote about the nature of the universe, the meaning of life, and the inevitability of death. The translation is done in the style of the Persian poet, Omar Khayyam, using the same meter and rhyme scheme. The book also includes parallel passages from the original Latin text, allowing readers to compare the translation to the original. The work is considered a unique and innovative approach to translating Lucretius' work and has been praised for its poetic and philosophical qualities.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.
