Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 10 by Michel de Montaigne
"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 10" by Michel de Montaigne is part of a collection of essays written between approximately 1570 and 1592. In these deeply personal writings, Montaigne sought to record "some traits of my character and of my humours" with utter frankness. His conversational style explores topics ranging from the profound to the trivial, questioning human certainty and reason while drawing on classical sources. Writing during France's religious
