Story
“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

Story
To overcome a crisis of melancholy after the death of his father, Montaigne withdrew to his country estates and began to write, and in the highly original essays that resulted he discussed themes such as fathers and children, conscience and cowardice, coaches and cannibals, and, above all, himself.

Story
In 1572, Montaigne - nobleman, humanist, and thoroughly Renaissance man - retired to the seclusion of his estate in the Dordogne and started to write. From his pen poured a stream of "essays" - attempts to capture the observations that came to him on an idiosyncratic range of subjects, from ancient customs, cannibals, and books to thumbs, war-horses, and the wearing of clothes. He made the study of himself the starting point for investigations into how to live, and wrote with a startlingly modern candor about love, grief, friendship, sex, and death.

Story
Michel de Montaigne was a contemporary of Shakespeare who, after having played his part in France's terrible wars of religion, retired to his estates and decided to write about what he knew best--himself. And so in his likes and dislikes, his reflections on history, his loves and his travels, he brought to life, not just one man, but all human experience. "What do I know?" he asked. If not himself and his own soul, then nothing else.

Story
Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

Story
Sélection d'Essais de Jean-Yves Tadié. Montaigne se lance dans la rédaction des "Essais" avec un objectif : se connaître soi-même. Philosophie, nature, justice, lecture, histoire... Les réflexions qui nourrissent l'œuvre de cet humaniste curieux et érudit sont le résultat d'une vaste introspection. Le génie de Montaigne est de donner à cette découverte du moi une portée universelle. Le plaisir de lecture qu'offrent les "Essais" ne serait rien sans la saveur d'une langue si singulière. L'ancien français - parfois difficile d'accès - a été ici "rajeuni".

Story
One of the most remarkable figures of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne was a brilliant French philosopher and statesman whose work directly influenced René Descartes, Friedrich Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He was a humanist and a sceptic, with an insatiable and wide-ranging curiosity. In 1571, on his 38th birthday, he withdrew from public life and retired to the library in his castle tower, where he assembled a body of work that is still highly relevant today.

Story
Montaigne mène une réflexion sur la découverte du Nouveau Monde, le colonialisme et la relativité des valeurs et des mœurs. Il montre que l'on appelle "barbare" ce qui ne correspond pas à nos propres mœurs et pire encore, ce qui est proche de la nature. Or, pour lui, les civilisations dont on découvre l'existence, proches de la nature, sont des sociétés vertueuses qui connaissent le respect des anciens, de l'honneur et de la fidélité.

Mit seinem Hauptwerk, den "Essais", begründete der Jurist, Politiker und Philosoph Michel de Montaigne im letzten Drittel des 16. Jahrhunderts die Kunst der Essayistik. In seinen Abhandlungen zu so unterschiedlichen Themen wie Eitelkeit, Kindererziehung und Kannibalismus setzte er sich kritisch, assoziativ und stets auf persönliche Erfahrungen zurückgreifend mit dem zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenleben seiner Zeit auseinander.

Story
En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.
