Describing his collection of Essays as 'a book consubstantial with
its author', Montaigne identified both the power and the charm of a
work which introduces us to one of the most attractive figures in
European literature. A humanist, a sceptic, an acute observer of
himself and others, he reflects the great themes of existence
through the prism of his own self-consciousness. Apparent in every
line he wrote, his virtues of tolerance, moderation and
disinterested inquiry amount to an undeclared manifesto for the
Enlightenment, whose prophet he is. This complete edition of his
works supplements the Essays with travel diaries and letters,
thereby completing the portrait of a true Renaissance man.
