Book Synopsis
A few years ago, Antoine Compagnon was asked to host a radio broadcast, every day for an entire summer, on a formidable subject: Michel de Montaigne. From that experience came this engaging and entertaining book. An intelligent and thought-provoking treatise in forty chapters that will introduce readers unfamiliar with Montaigne to his unique brilliance and remind those who already know Montaigne's work of its vitality, force, and enduring timeliness.

Trade Review
"The clarity of Compagnon's analysis renders this once intimidating French Renaissance man miraculously close." * Elle * "Nothing could be easier to read; these pages are to be savoured like a little glass of pastis in the summer." * Paris Match * "A tribute to a classic author who is still well and truly in touch with the spirit of the times." * ActuaLitte *
