Experiments. A set in 3 books. Montaen M.

“The content of my book is myself, and this is by no means the reason for you to give your leisure to the subject to such a lightweight and insignificant” - this is how Michelle Montaine (1533–1592) characterizes your own work. But people today find pleasure in reading his “experiments”. Why? Apparently, the point is that Montigne himself is still relevant-a philosopher, intellectual, wit.

One modern author called him a “typical blogger”, and in this shocking formulation there is a lot of truth. Montaigne wrote, in his own words, for loved ones, family and friends, wanting to leave “some traces” of his own character and thoughts. So he created a series of brilliant, full humor, candid texts, and the “Coverage of the Audience” turned out to be unexpectedly wide: Michelle Montigne became a significant virtual interlocutor, adviser, friend for many generations of readers around the world.
