«Essais» (Extraits) is a selection of essays by French writer Michel de Montaigne, published by Flammarion in paperback, in French.
Montaigne draws his own portrait to inquire into the human condition, in times of religious wars and after the discovery of the New World. The work oscillates between self-portrait and moral treatise, and addresses education, politics, morality and society; this volume brings together selected extracts on the human being, the world and coexistence.
It belongs to the Étonnants classiques collection from Flammarion; Christian Keime is listed as editor in the book's data.
Intended for readers interested in Renaissance philosophy and classics of French literature.
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.
