«Des cannibales et Des coches» is a school edition of two essays by Michel de Montaigne, published by Folio in paperback (144 pages, in French).
In these two chapters of the Essays, Montaigne crosses the Atlantic to encounter the peoples of the New World: Incas, Aztecs and other indigenous cultures barely known to Europeans. The author uses this encounter to question European prejudices, reflect on cultural diversity and ask what the «other» reveals about our own humanity.
Modernised edition by Christine Bénévent, with pedagogical dossier: text analysis, commentary, grammar and exercises. Part of the Folio+ Lycée collection.
Aimed at students preparing for the French baccalauréat and readers interested in Renaissance humanism and the work of Montaigne.
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.
