Summary
The Essays of Montaigne are a collection of writings from the late 16th century. Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man, and especially himself, with utter frankness and honesty. The essays are surprisingly modern and have served as foundational texts for much of Western philosophy and culture. 'The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.'
