One of the most significant figures of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne was solely in charge of popularising the essay as a literary genre.

In order to dedicate himself to leisure, study, and meditation, Montaigne retreated to his estates in 1572. He penned his ever-expanding "essays" there, influenced by the concepts he discovered in his library's books and his personal experiences.

He talks about everything from cannibals and war horses to poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, and euphoria. In order to understand his true inner self and the nature of humanity, Montaigne examined himself the most. The Essays are some of the most unique and individualistic pieces of literature. They continue to captivate, educate, and entertain current readers as they provide a window into a wise Renaissance mind.

Michel de Montaigne, who was born in 1533, was a law student who then worked as a counsellor for a number of years until he decided to devote his life to reading, writing, and contemplation. 1586 saw his passing.
