Essais
Book • 1580
The 'Essais' of Michel de Montaigne are contained in three books and 107 chapters, written between approximately 1570 and 1592.
The essays cover diverse topics such as skepticism, education, virtue, friendship, politics, poetry, and death, as well as more mundane subjects like drunkenness, horse riding, and personal preferences.
Montaigne's writing style is characterized by its conversational tone, use of quotations from ancient texts, and a reflective, exploratory approach.
He aims to record 'some traits of my character and of my humours' and to test his judgments and thoughts on various subjects.
The work is notable for its influence on both French and English literature and its contribution to the development of the essay as a literary form.
