VerkdetaljerThe Complete Works av Michel de Montaigne (1580)
   Ingen/inga Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Montaigne's Essays is a desert island book, one of culture's 'permanent things', a source of wit and wisdom for all time. After careful consideration I give my vote to the translation by Donald Frame (I find it generally preferable to the next-best modern translation, by M.A. Screech). The widely-printed Jacobean translation by John Florio is interesting from a literary perspective but does little to convey the lucidity of Montaigne to the modern reader. This Everyman edition includes 'bonus material' in the form of Montaigne's travel journal and letters. While these additions are necessary to qualify the volume as ‘the complete works’, they are of secondary literary importance. The travel journal deals extensively with (and provides too much detail about) Montaigne’s health issues, and the letters are a rag bag of epistles dedicatory and official correspondence that do not stand on their own merits. As is usually the case with Everyman, this is the most attractive edition on the market. Buy it, then buy it again for a friend. (  ) Lirmac | Nov 20, 2019 |  What a weird purchase. I recall really like Montaigne in college, but now I just find it "historically interesting," which is to say, not interesting, really. leeinaustin | Jul 19, 2008 | beautiful book.

The complete works of Michel de Monaigne, including essays, letters, and travel journals of the father and unsurpassed practitioner of the essay. Humanist, skeptic, acute observer of himself and others, Michel de Montaigne (1533-92) was the first to use the term "essay" to refer to the form he pioneered and he has remained one of its most famous practitioners. He reflected on the great themes of existence in his masterly and engaging writings. His subjects ranging from proper conversation and good reading, to the raising of children and the endurance of pain; from solitude, destiny, time and custom, to truth, consciousness, and death. Having stood the test of time, his essays continue to influence writers nearly five hundred years later. Also included in this complete edition of his works are Montaigne's letters and travel journal, fascinating records of the experiences and contemplations that would shape and infuse his essays. Montaigne speaks to us always in a personal voice in which his virtues of tolerance, moderation, and understanding are dazzlingly manifest. The translation is widely acknowledged to be the classic English version. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
