Review
“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself–the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” –New York Times Book Review
Product Description
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
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 wise 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 his 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.
Donald M. Frame’s masterful translation is widely acknowledged to be the classic English version.

我大概是被形而上學洗腦瞭,讀不來。。。
评分看來那個年代隻有濛田能把自己的膽結石和排大便寫個五六頁
评分重印的Frame,還是老問題,濛田的引文都直接翻譯成瞭英文,沒有原文(這其實倒還不是很有所謂),關鍵是引文沒有標明齣處,對於不懂法文不能看各種考訂本的同學來說,多少還是有點不友好吧。雖然譯文質量可能稍遜,但還是覺得Screech的本子更好一點。
