The complete essays of Montaigne

Book • 1993
The Complete Essays of Michel de Montaigne are contained in three books and 107 chapters.

Written between approximately 1570 and 1592, these essays reflect Montaigne's skeptical philosophy and his personal meditations on various subjects.

The essays cover topics from the profound to the trivial, such as 'Of Sadness and Sorrow,' 'Of Conscience,' 'Of Smells,' and 'Of Posting.

' Montaigne's writing style is characterized by its conversational tone, use of classical references, and a critical examination of human knowledge and certitude.

His work had a significant influence on both French and English literature and continues to be a valuable source of philosophical and literary insight.
