Mit seinem Hauptwerk, den "Essais", begründete der Jurist, Politiker und Philosoph Michel de Montaigne im letzten Drittel des 16. Jahrhunderts die Kunst der Essayistik. In seinen Abhandlungen zu so unterschiedlichen Themen wie Eitelkeit, Kindererziehung und Kannibalismus setzte er sich kritisch, assoziativ und stets auf persönliche Erfahrungen zurückgreifend mit dem zwischenmenschlichen Zusammenleben seiner Zeit auseinander.

Selbsterkenntnis ist der erste Schritt zur Weisheit auf Wegen des Zweifels, der Irrtümer, des Staunens und der Überraschungen. Unterwegs auf diesem Weg begegnen wir uns selbst. Als Wegbegleiter hören wir: "Was ist Aufklärung?" (I. Kant), "Essais"(M. de Montagne), "Von der Gemütsruhe" (Seneca), "Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außenmoralischen Sinn" (F. Nietzsche), "Gespräche" (Konfuzius).

Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (* 28. Februar 1533 auf Schloss Montaigne in der Dordogne; gestorben am 13. September 1592 am gleichen Ort) war Philosoph und Begründer der Essayistik.

“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

"Nichts ist so voll und ganz das Werk unsres freien Willens wie Zuneigung und Freundschaft." Der französische Philosoph Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) geht in diesen Essays den Tugenden und Schwächen der Menschen nach. Dem Geist der Renaissance verpflichtet, zeichnet er ein Bild des Menschen in all seiner Widersprüchlichkeit und plädiert für eine ruhige und gelassene Lebensführung.

To overcome a crisis of melancholy after the death of his father, Montaigne withdrew to his country estates and began to write, and in the highly original essays that resulted he discussed themes such as fathers and children, conscience and cowardice, coaches and cannibals, and, above all, himself.

"Essais", das bedeutet "Versuche". Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592) begründete mit ihnen ein neues literarisches Genre, indem er die wichtigen philosophischen Themen seiner Zeit einer Untersuchung unterzog. Die vorliegende Auswahl präsentiert: "Über die Freundschaft", "Von der Erfahrung", "Von der Mäßigung", "Über die Einsamkeit", "Man muss seinen Willen beschränken".

In 1572, Montaigne - nobleman, humanist, and thoroughly Renaissance man - retired to the seclusion of his estate in the Dordogne and started to write. From his pen poured a stream of "essays" - attempts to capture the observations that came to him on an idiosyncratic range of subjects, from ancient customs, cannibals, and books to thumbs, war-horses, and the wearing of clothes. He made the study of himself the starting point for investigations into how to live, and wrote with a startlingly modern candor about love, grief, friendship, sex, and death.

Sélection d'Essais de Jean-Yves Tadié. Montaigne se lance dans la rédaction des "Essais" avec un objectif : se connaître soi-même. Philosophie, nature, justice, lecture, histoire... Les réflexions qui nourrissent l'œuvre de cet humaniste curieux et érudit sont le résultat d'une vaste introspection. Le génie de Montaigne est de donner à cette découverte du moi une portée universelle. Le plaisir de lecture qu'offrent les "Essais" ne serait rien sans la saveur d'une langue si singulière. L'ancien français - parfois difficile d'accès - a été ici "rajeuni".

En 1571, tras sufrir un accidente montando a caballo, Michel de Montaigne abandona su posición como magistrado de Burdeos para retirarse a su castillo y empezar a escribir. Ese es el inicio, casi novelesco, de una de las obras más importantes de la cultura occidental. «No enseño ni adoctrino, lo que hago es relatar», afirma Montaigne. Y entretanto dialoga con los pensadores clásicos sobre todo tipo de cuestiones relativas a la condición humana.

Here, in this unusual collection, are some of the greatest essays in Western literature. Witty, informative and imaginative, the topics vary from starvation in Ireland, fine China, the extension of railways in the Lake District, and the tombs in Westminster Abbey. A little like after-dinner monologues, they are passing thoughts expressed as journalism. Neville Jason reads with urbane clarity.

One of the most remarkable figures of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne was a brilliant French philosopher and statesman whose work directly influenced René Descartes, Friedrich Nietzsche, Isaac Asimov and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. He was a humanist and a sceptic, with an insatiable and wide-ranging curiosity. In 1571, on his 38th birthday, he withdrew from public life and retired to the library in his castle tower, where he assembled a body of work that is still highly relevant today.

Known as the High Renaissance period, the philosophy of the 1500s leaned towards establishing the relationship between the human body and the human soul. Logic was waning as a philosophical ideal and, instead, the focus fell on human nature. ‘500 Quotations from the Great Philosophers of the 16th Century’ cherry-picks some of the most profound and insightful observations from some of the finest minds of that era. A superb gift for history buffs and philosophy fans alike.

A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of ‘civilisation’, contrasting the behaviour of so-called ‘barbarians’ with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.

With words of wisdom, reflections, and observations on everything from life and love to death and hatred, and everything in between, this is a superb book for those looking for inspiring and self-questioning thoughts to gain a new perspective on our existence. A superb read for fans of modern philosophy and those who simply want something fascinating to dip in and out of.
