«De la vanité» is the philosophical essay by Michel de Montaigne, published in paperback (128 pages, in French).
Montaigne addresses human vanity and the transience of life, combining personal experience, moral commentary, and reflections. With free-flowing writing, he offers a tolerant and insightful view of the human being, always in motion, unprejudiced, strong and fragile at once, and sprinkles his pages with irony and practical wisdom.
Part of the Folio 2€ Sagesses collection, with text established and annotated by Pierre Michel; 2003 edition.
For readers interested in humanist philosophy and classic French literature who wish to read Montaigne in his original language.
Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne, commonly known as just Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularising the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous writers of Western literature; his Essais contain some of the most influential essays ever written.
