Michel de Montaigne, one of the main writers of the French Renaissance and the originator of the genre of the essay, wrote on subjects ranging from a friendly relationship to thoughts, from words to conscience. This collection includes 22 of Montaigne's essays, including "Of Prognostications," "On the Custom of Putting on Clothes," "Of Pedantry," and "Of A friendly relationship."

Montaigne's essays have been generally read since their first publication by such great writers as Shakespeare and Ralph Waldo Emerson and continue steadily to resonate for modern audiences.
