Features: This encyclopedic masterpiece, renowned for its extensive references, insightful exploration of life, and profound introspective wisdom, was crafted by Montaigne (1533–1592), the "Father of Modern Essay," the great French prose master, and thinker. The value of this book needs no elaboration—simply the ardent admiration from Shakespeare, Bacon, Voltaire, and Emerson is enough to prove its worth! Montaigne possesses a skeptical curiosity about human nature and the world, coupled with highly personal insights. While he might seem foreign to us, who are gradually losing our sense of skepticism and curiosity, his resonant prose compels readers to applaud and deeply admire.
