Story
“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

Story
Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

Story
One of the most remarkable figures of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne was a brilliant French philosopher and statesman whose work directly influenced René Descartes, Friedrich Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He was a humanist and a sceptic, with an insatiable and wide-ranging curiosity. In 1571, on his 38th birthday, he withdrew from public life and retired to the library in his castle tower, where he assembled a body of work that is still highly relevant today.

Story
Se visiter soi-même plutôt que des contrées lointaines, c'est explorer à la fois le plus proche et le plus mystérieux. Michel de Montaigne décrit son expérience en même temps qu'il se livre à des réflexions amusées ; en nous dévoilant son "humaine condition", il nous fournit un art de vivre sage et agréable. Ces 100 citations de Montaigne ont été sélectionnées pour vous familiariser avec l'œuvre de ce penseur bonhomme et vous fournir les clés de la vie plaisante, car "'est une perfection absolue et pour ainsi dire divine que de savoir jouir loyalement de son être".

Story
Montaigne mène une réflexion sur la découverte du Nouveau Monde, le colonialisme et la relativité des valeurs et des mœurs. Il montre que l'on appelle "barbare" ce qui ne correspond pas à nos propres mœurs et pire encore, ce qui est proche de la nature. Or, pour lui, les civilisations dont on découvre l'existence, proches de la nature, sont des sociétés vertueuses qui connaissent le respect des anciens, de l'honneur et de la fidélité.

Story
"De l'amitié" est tiré des "Essais" de Montaigne, publiés en 1595, à titre posthume. C'est par l'introspection la plus honnête que l'auteur cherche à comprendre l'humanité, par le raisonnement mais aussi par la compréhension intime de ses propres émotions. L'amitié est une rencontre. Quand Montaigne raconte avec bonheur sa relation avec Estienne de La Boétie, l'auditeur de son côté expérimente la rencontre avec un auteur, sincère et libre, et ressent avec force ce lien indicible qui fonde une amitié profonde.
