«Des cannibales suivi de Des coches» is the school edition of Michel de Montaigne's essays, published by Flammarion in paperback (192 pages, in French).
The volume brings together two chapters of the Essais in which Montaigne reflects on the encounter between Europeans and the indigenous peoples of America. Against travellers' accounts, the author questions the notion of barbarism and shows that the customs of the so-called «cannibals» follow their own logic. Thus, he turns their description into a mirror that invites an examination of the prejudices of European society in his time.
School edition with pedagogical apparatus designed for the French baccalauréat, in the Étonnants Classiques collection. Includes the parcours «Notre monde vient d'en trouver un autre», with a study of the work, textual explanations, grammar points and exam topics.
Intended for French students preparing for the bac and for readers interested in an annotated edition of Renaissance classics.
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.
