What reading level is The Atomic Theory of Lucretius Contrasted With Modern Doctrines of Atoms And Evolution book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If, then, the poet regarded Epicurus as his deliverer, it may be asked, — From what had Epicurus saved him ? When we read Lucretius's poem, we cannot doubt that • he owed to Epicurus more than a merely intellectual debt, — more than the light of science, — more, too, than deliverance from superstitious fears. Lucretius speaks with the voice and the emotion of one who has known from personal experience in some form the miseries of a life of ambition, — who has known, too, the mad Roman lust for ...luxury and pleasure, and for ever new pleasures, and who has himself felt the 'sad satiety ' that comes from drinking deep of such delights. He writes like one who (to use his own image) watches, safe on shore, the vessels in peril, in the grip of the tempest, and vividly remembers how he himself was once helplessly tossing on the same sea. His eagerness of temperament tells of a nature not easily curbed. The poems of Catullus show what a vortex of sensual life was the Roman capital in Lucretius's day.
