'Read Montaigne in order to live' - Gustave Flaubert 'I defy any reader of Montaigne not to put down the book at some point and say with incredulity: How did he know all that about me?' - The Times '[Montaigne] was the first who had the courage to say as an author what he felt as a man' - William Hazlitt

Synopsis
A selection of Michel de Montaigne's most profound, searching essays, in a new translation and stunning hardback edition 'I myself am the subject of my book'. So wrote Montaigne in the introductory note to his Essays, the book that marked the birth of the modern essay form. In works of probing intelligence and idiosyncratic observation, Montaigne moved from intimate personal reflection to roving theories of the conduct of kings and cannibals, the effects of sorrow and fear, and the fallibility of human memory and judgement. This new selection of Montaigne's most ingenious essays appears in a lucid new translation by the prize-winning David Coward. What Do I Know? offers the modern reader profound insight into a great Renaissance mind., A fresh new translation of Michel de Montaigne's most profound, searching essays, with an introduction from Yiyun Li, author of The Book of Goose This gift-worthy collection of 16 essays by "the father of the essay" is a short, accessible introduction to his work, offering a fascinating glimpse inside a great Renaissance mind "I myself am the subject of my book."

    A rocky start after I had to NUDGE the Seller into checking on my order after MORE than a week with NOTHING happening... But Seller communication was GOOD and the item showed up, well packaged, within the delivery window. Item was well priced, and they had a series that I STRUGGLED to find elsewhere, in NEW condition. I would recommend this seller if you can't find it elsewhere, that's the best I can give them.
