what book is this?
I replied:
The Essays: A Selection (the selection is some 400 pgs) by Michel de Montaigne (original author, lived in the later sixteenth century) and M. A. Screech (translator and editor of the Penguin Classics edition).
There’s a lot that’s super intriguing (and often beautifully put), especially considering when it was written, and I understand that Screech’s translation is excellent.
