Description: Trace the pilgrimage of one looking for ancient manuscripts, specifically Lucretius On the Nature of Things and how that manuscript, which claimed that everything was matter (atoms) and the void. Stephen Greenblatt, the Harvard Shakespeare expert, among other things, tells the story in his The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, hardcover, dustjacket, 2011 SIGNED by Greenblatt. I found the book to be a fascinating tale and so did others as it won both the Pulitzer and the National Book Award when it was published. Here is a SIGNED, First edition (marked as such), signed by the author. From my perspective the book is pristine and the story is worthy of all the acclaim it received. Collectible. I think this book has an excellent future in the best book collections and libraries. I am selling many books from my personal professional library associated with 50 years of teaching. Books are in philosophy, psychology, economics, sciences, and other things that interest me. Please ask questions or for additional images. I am not a professional book grader or seller. I recommend seeing or asking for photos of the actual book before purchasing. I provide photos and answer questions about my books.
