About the book

This three-volume set presents the essays of Michel de Montaigne, one of the great thinkers of the Renaissance. Montaigne writes about friendship, education, fear, mortality and everyday life with remarkable honesty and curiosity. His habit of examining his own thoughts and experiences helped establish the personal essay as a major literary form.
