Features: This encyclopedic masterpiece, renowned for its extensive references, insightful exploration of life, and rich 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—just the ardent admiration from Shakespeare, Bacon, Voltaire, and Emerson is enough to illustrate the point! Montaigne possesses a skeptical curiosity about human nature and the world, coupled with highly personal insights. He might seem foreign to us, who are currently losing our sense of skepticism and curiosity, but his resonant prose compels one to applaud and deeply admire.
