Heraclitus ("the glory of Hera"), contemporary of Buddha, Lao Tzu and Confucius, was one of the first philosophers of Ancient Greece. He was the one who said "one can't step into the same river twice". These fragments, mostly in Greek but a few times in Latin (which are printed on the left-side page alongside the English of the right-side page), once were parts of a very often quoted book "On Nature", which since has gone missing. But just from the few bits that are here can be gained very deep quotes which have had a great influence beyong Ancient Greek and Rome.
It's a quick read, but one can remain chewing on the tiniest bits for a long time. The book can be a good point to start reading Greek philosophy, it's not exhausting and is easily re-readable. So I loved it and recommend it.
