About This Novel
Among sixteenth-century writers, few are as revered and accepted by modern people as Montaigne. He was an intellectual authority and critic in France before the Enlightenment. He was a cold observer of human emotions and a scholar who conducted dispassionate studies of the cultures of various nations, especially Western culture. Judging from his thoughts and feelings, one can regard him as a modern man emerging from that era. This book is a collection of Montaigne's essays. It is the most charming work selected from Montaigne's three volumes of prose and essays. The book covers everything from daily life, traditional customs and philosophy of life. The language is plain and smooth, and full of life interest.
