«Assaigs (III): Llibre tercer» is the third volume of Michel de Montaigne's essays, published by Proa in hardback (544 pages, in Catalan).
In this third book of the Assaigs, Montaigne reflects with a close and erudite tone on fear, solitude, vanity, customs, smells, and the art of conversation. Influenced by Renaissance humanism, he argues that knowledge should teach us to live and die with serenity; this work inaugurated the essay genre.
Published in 2008 in the A Tot Vent-Tela collection by Proa. Translated by Vicent Alonso, whose first volume won the Premi de la Crítica Serra d'Or for best translation in 2006.
For readers interested in the classic essay and philosophy, as well as those who want to read Montaigne in Catalan.
Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne, commonly known as just Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularising the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous writers of Western literature; his Essais contain some of the most influential essays ever written.
