About This Book

Sarah Bakewell's ingenious biography of Michel de Montaigne frames his life through twenty questions the essayist himself addressed. Drawing parallels between sixteenth-century France and our own moment, Bakewell makes Montaigne's philosophy of the self immediate and vital. Winner of the NBCC Award for Biography.
