Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 05 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 05" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. This volume forms part of Montaigne's groundbreaking work of self-examination, where he explores topics ranging from the profound to the trivial with remarkable honesty. Writing during France's religious wars, Montaigne questions human certainty and reason, famously asking "What do I know?" His conversational style blends learned quotations with popular
sayings, creating reflections on human nature that remain startlingly relevant centuries later. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
