They are all versions of a bigger question: How do you live? This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, considered by many to be the first truly modern individual. He wrote free-roaming explorations of his thoughts and experience, unlike anything written before. More than four hundred years later, Montaigne's honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come to him in search of companionship, wisdom, and entertainment --and in search of themselves. Just as they will to this spirited and singular biography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2750013\"\u003eSarah Bakewell\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.56w x 1.09d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590514832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1590514831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BIO\"\u003eBiography \u0026amp; Autobiography\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BIO009000\"\u003ePhilosophers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004150\"\u003eEuropean | French\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI009000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Surveys | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Bakewell \u003c\/b\u003ewas a curator of early printed books at the Wellcome Library before becoming a full-time writer, publishing her highly acclaimed biographies \u003ci\u003eThe Smart \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe English Dane. \u003c\/i\u003eShe lives in London, where she teaches creative writing at City University and catalogs rare book collections for the National Trust.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Press (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832865325195,"sku":"9781590514832","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_cf72f2e1-bb11-4b80-8629-de598d4d845d.jpg?v=1755625025","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/how-to-live-or-a-life-of-montaigne-in-one-question-and-twenty-attempts-at-an-answer-9781590514832","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
