Author : Michel de Montaigne

Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1532-1592) was a pivotal figure of the French Renaissance and is celebrated for establishing the essay as a distinctive literary genre. His seminal work, Essais, showcases a remarkable fusion of deep intellectual inquiry with personal anecdotes and reflections, earning him a lasting legacy. Montaigne's influence extends across generations, impacting renowned writers such as William Shakespeare, René Descartes, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. A practicing Catholic with an anti-dogmatic mindset, he is often regarded as a founder of the "anti-conformist" tradition in French literature. While not fully appreciated as an author during his lifetime, his approach to literature—embodying curiosity and skepticism, famously encapsulated in his phrase "Que sais-je?" ("What do I know?")—is now recognized as profoundly modern. Montaigne's blend of scholarly insight and personal narrative continues to resonate with contemporary readers and has profoundly shaped the landscape of modern literary nonfiction.
