Complete Essays Montaigne Michel
In 1572, Montaigne retired to his estates in order to devote himself to leisure, reading and reflection. He discusses subjects as diverse as war-horses and cannibals, poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, ecstasy and experience. There he wrote his constantly expanding 'essays', inspired by the ideas he found in books from his library and his own experience.
The Essays are among the most idiosyncratic and personal works in all literature. Above all, Montaigne studied himself to find his own inner nature and that of humanity. An insight into a wise Renaissance mind, they continue to engage, enlighten and entertain modern readers.
