On Solitude by Michel De Montaigne

On Solitude by Michel De Montaigne

Blending intellectual speculation with anecdote and personal reflection, the Renaissance thinker and writer Montaigne pioneered the modern essay. This selection contains his idiosyncratic writings on subjects as varied as the virtues of solitude, the power of the imagination, the pleasures of reading, and the importance of sleep.

Born in 1533, Montaigne studied law and spent a number of years working as a counsellor before devoting his life to reading, writing and reflection. He died in 1586
