«Ensayos, I» is the philosophical essay by Michel de Montaigne, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (424 pages, in Spanish).
Montaigne's «Ensayos» bring together reflections on his reading and personal experience, including his travels. Without a linear plan, it addresses man, morality, life and death. What began as a philosophical work with classical roots turns into a meditation on dying well: thinking about death makes one free, and reflection provides knowledge.
Volume 35 of the Letras Universales collection from Ediciones Cátedra. Eighth edition, in 2006, edited by María Dolores Picazo.
For the general public interested in the philosophical essay and classic French literature.
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.
