Synopsis "Essais (1582) (in French)"

The texts published by the STFM provide the richest and most varied panorama of French literature from the Renaissance to modern times: alongside the great names of literature (Ronsard, Corneille, Voltaire or Chateaubriand) and major works and collections (Du Bellay, Rotrou, Saint-Evremond, Scarron, Tristan l'Hermite), there are lesser known authors (Angot de l'Eperonniere, Boindin, Mareschal) and many rare texts, often in their first modern publication.

Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (Saint-Michel-de-Montaigne, 1533 – 1592), philosopher, humanist, and moralist, was one of the most important thinkers of the French Renaissance. He studied Law and served as a magistrate in Bordeaux before retiring to his castle to devote himself to reading and contemplation. At the age of thirty-eight, he began writing The Essays, a masterpiece that popularized the essay as a literary form. He has been described as the most classic of the moderns and the most modern of the classics.
