Overview

Of The Nature Of Things, in Six Books, Volume 1, is an epic poem by Titus Lucretius Carus, translated by Thomas Creech. This foundational work, originally titled ""De Rerum Natura,"" explores Epicurean philosophy through poetic verse. Lucretius elucidates the principles of atomism, materialism, and the pursuit of tranquility by understanding the natural world.

This edition offers readers a valuable insight into classical thought and scientific inquiry, rendered in elegant English verse. A cornerstone of philosophical and scientific literature, ""Of The Nature Of Things"" continues to inspire contemplation on the fundamental questions of existence and the human condition.
