About this book

In these wandering, intimate essays (a form he essentially invented) Montaigne turns his gaze on himself and on everything under the sun: friendship, fear, education, cannibals, death, books, and the endless contradictions of human nature. Skeptical, humane, and disarmingly candid, he asks 'What do I know?' and follows his thoughts wherever they lead, creating one of the warmest and wisest self-portraits in all of literature. Ranging over the whole of experience with curiosity and tolerance, the Essays remain astonishingly modern and companionable. A foundational work of the essay form, Montaigne's complete Essays offer a lifetime of reflection from a mind determined, above all, to understand what it means to be human.
