Michel de Montaigne was one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance, singlehandedly responsible for popularising the essay as a literary form. This Penguin Classics edition of The Complete Essays is translated from the French and edited with an introduction and notes by M.A. Screech.In 1572 Montaigne retired to his estates in order to devote himself to leisure, reading and reflection.
“One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style . . . one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself.” —Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review This new translation of Montaigne’s immortal Essays received great acclaim when it was first published in The Complete Works of Montaigne in the 1957 edition.
The Essays are among the most idiosyncratic and personal works in all literature and provide an engaging insight into a wise Renaissance mind, continuing to give pleasure and enlightenment to modern readers. With its extensive introduction and notes, M.A. Screech's edition of Montaigne is widely regarded as the most distinguished of recent times.
