[Translated by Charles Cotton]
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. His voice, by turns lively, curious, digressive, ironic, and moving, is utterly captivating. The Essays feel less like a work of literature and more like an ongoing conversation with a very well-informed friend.

This book was translated in the 17th century. But it’s not hard to read and it’s amazing to listen to. Thank you for sharing such wonderful books.

@Gladi: Surprisingly accessible, is it not, considering how old the translation is?
I also love the more recent Donald M. Frame translation. Check it out (if you haven’t already) - https://audiobookbay.lu/audio-books/the-complete-essays-of-montaigne-michel-eyquem-de-montaigne-donald-m-frame-translator/

This old translation may be less accurate, but it is part of the history of literature. In addition, the French audiobook is also available, and it is interesting to listen to it in French.
It is amazing that classical literature is so easily accessible. I am very grateful for your wonderful site and all its kind members.
