There's a new biography about Montaigne out. He's credited with being the father of the essay. I came across him many years ago and my Penguin edition is well thumbed.
What has appealed to me over the years about him?
- Commonsense.
- Humanity
- Humour
If you've never tried him, there are biographies of him online including Wikipedia that will give you a flavour of the man. Hope you too can enjoy his writing.
Let me know what you think.
