«De l’homme» is the philosophical work by Jean de La Bruyère, published by Editions Gallimard in paperback (90 pages, in French).
In this work, La Bruyère gathers maxims and satirical portraits to examine the human condition: vanity, hypocrisy, appearances and social relations. Philosophy appears as a consolation in the face of misfortune and a weapon against poverty, old age, illness and death, while the author sketches the social comedy with irony.
