Bøker av Michel de Montaigne

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.Michel de Montaigne was the originator of the modern essay form; in these diverse pieces he expresses his views on relationships, contemplates the idea that man is no different from any animal, argues that all cultures should be respected, and attempts, by an exploration of himself, to understand the nature of humanity.

Describing his collection of Essays as 'a book consubstantial with its author', Montaigne identified both the power and the charm of a work which introduces us to one of the most attractive figures in European literature.

Montaigne, une première fois, de 1571 à 1580, s'enferme dans son château. Il a le goût des livres. Il lit. Et comme il va de préférence aux moralistes et aux historiens, et qu'il ne lit point passivement, l'esprit critique s'éveille en lui ; il pense, et il juge.Pour juger, il compare. Le terme de comparaison qui lui est nécessaire, il le prend en lui-même, en l'homme naturel qui est en lui. Montaigne s'engage donc insensiblement dans la rédaction de ses mémoires psychologiques, mais en « honnête homme qui ne se pique de rien », en causeur qui se défend de faire un livre. C'est ainsi que se formèrent, au jour le jour, les deux premiers livres des Essais (1580).Puis Montaigne, mûri par les voyages et par l'expérience, revient à ce qu'il a déjà écrit ; il le complète, il le fortifie, il le confirme, et il entrevoit d'autres sujets, d'autres chapitres. C'est l'édition en trois livres qui sort de cette seconde période de retraite (1588).
