How to live, or, a life of Montaigne in one question and twenty attempts at an answer / Sarah Bakewell. by Bakewell, Sarah. New York : Other Press, c2010. Subjects Montaigne, Michel de, 1533-1592.   Montaigne, Michel de, 1533-1592 -- Philosophy.   Authors, French -- 16th century -- Biography. ISBN:  9781590514252 : 1590514254 Description:  ix, 389 p. : ill., map ; 24 cm. Edition:  Other Press ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  How does one live? How does one do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy? This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Montaigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them "essays," meaning "attempts" or "tries." Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog's ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne's honesty and charm still draw readers. This spirited biography relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Biography B Montaigne Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 848.3 Montaigne Ba Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 848.3 Montaigne Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Montaigne Ba Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
