About This Novel
Montaigne was the first philosopher who dared to boldly analyze himself. Many of his ideas were far ahead of his time, just like a modern person living in the 16th century. He is familiar with history, showing an astonishing amount of reading; his writing is informal and only writes what is in his heart. This book selects twelve essays from Montaigne's three-volume "Collected Essays", with concentrated themes and a wide range of topics, including analyzing one's own shortcomings, resisting bad habits in life, cultivating noble friendships, finding personal reading methods, etc. Montaigne tells us from his own experience that we must not only bravely expose our true self, but also observe the changes in the times and human nature, and always alert ourselves.
