A short summary of The Swerve:
How Poggio Bracciolini re-discovered Lucretius work "On The Nature Of Things"
My favorite quote from Lucretius:
"There is nothing that exists so great or marvelous that over time mankind does not admire it less and less."
Questions to ponder while reading The Swerve:
How much do you know about the beginning of the Renaissance?
Have you ever wondered how much knowledge we lost?
My review of the book:
A great theory about the catalyst of the Renaissance.
Well-researched and logically laid out.
Easy to read, despite the complexity of the topic.
