An Excellent Introduction to Montaigne. I took a chance on this book while browsing for something new to read and I could not have been happier. The author gives a fascinating glimpse into Montaigne's life and his influence over the following centuries. I enjoyed reading a chapter each day to inspire a thoughtful mood. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Well researched. An engaging account of Montaigne the man against a vivid backdrop of 16th century France. Highly recommend.

How to live. A "best of practice" guide to living and dying, in the form of 20 questions, drawn from sources going back three thousand years, written by a Frenchman living in the late 1500s. His name was Montaigne. Landowner, lawyer and Mayor, he had a near brush with death, and by almost dying, commenced to write about himself and his world. He published, and invented the genre of personal essay. Author Sarah Bakewell captures not only his world, but effect of Montaigne's writing on the four hundred subsequent years of authors grappling with the everyday mysteries of life and practical things you and I can do to act with honor and grace. Sarah Bakewell does us a great service by doing a hell of a lot reading; the various authors who read Montaigne and how doing so influenced their work and life and times. Montaigne has never gone out of print as each generation has found meaning for themselves in his musings, meanders which guide us in our own choices about how to live. This book is so worth reading, I read large amounts of it aloud to my wife, who asked for more!
