Winner of the 2010 National Book Critics Circle Award for Biography
How to get along with people, how to deal with violence, how to adjust to losing someone you love—such questions arise in most people’s lives. They are all versions of a bigger question: how do you live? How do you do the good or honorable thing, while flourishing and feeling happy?
This question obsessed Renaissance writers, none more than Michel Eyquem de Monatigne, perhaps the first truly modern individual. A nobleman, public official and wine-grower, he wrote free-roaming explorations of his thought and experience, unlike anything written before. He called them “essays,” meaning “attempts” or “tries.” Into them, he put whatever was in his head: his tastes in wine and food, his childhood memories, the way his dog’s ears twitched when it was dreaming, as well as the appalling events of the religious civil wars raging around him. The Essays was an instant bestseller and, over four hundred years later, Montaigne’s honesty and charm still draw people to him. Readers come in search of companionship, wisdom and entertainment—and in search of themselves.
This book, a spirited and singular biography, relates the story of his life by way of the questions he posed and the answers he explored. It traces his bizarre upbringing, youthful career and sexual adventures, his travels, and his friendships with the scholar and poet Étienne de La Boétie and with his adopted “daughter,” Marie de Gournay. And we also meet his readers—who for centuries have found in Montaigne an inexhaustible source of answers to the haunting question, “how to live?”

读后感
摘自《阅读蒙田，是为了生活》的前言 二十一世纪到处可见不吝于表现自我的人。如果花半小时上网浏览博客、推特、“优兔”(YouTube)、“视窗现场”(Windows Live)分享空间、脸谱(Facebook)、微信、微博与一些个人网页，你会发现在这片网络大海里可以捕捞到数千个有趣的人，他们...
评分随笔作家，这种职业往往介于家政服务和超市促销之间。 每个人都可以推门走进去，看看内容、问问价格，带着自己想要的东西离开。所以，在蒙田这里，古人看到了斯多葛主义，笛卡尔、帕斯卡发现了怀疑论，浪漫主义者找到人性和自然，伍尔夫得到了意识流，解构主义者得到了盟友的支...
评分下了单，书还没到，先写几句。 我最喜欢蒙田的地方是，惜命而不负责任。 他知道自己对于人类的使命不是波尔多市长这个职务，而是为人类留下《随笔集》。 我联想到我儿子根本不愿意去餐馆打工，他认为他的使命不在于此，去做这种工作是浪费自己宝贵的时间。 可是我们怎么知道并...
评分十六世纪人文作家蒙田的传记，作者的写法比较特别，以“我们问：如何生活？”为引，从若干个主题片段对蒙田的身份、亲友关系、生活经历，以及最重的篇幅思想和创作一一串连，给出回答。 每一章的题目都非常抓人眼球，看着有点标题党的意思，但内容还是干货满满的，从个人的传记...
评分蒙田有一句话：“生活本身就是目标，生活本身就是目的。” 或许因为太多人渴望听他讲生活意义，所以他只得给出这样一个放之四海而皆准——也就等于什么也没说——的答案；或许，这正是蒙田对生活的看法。 蒙田的生活态度，接近于佛陀。有一个故事说，有人问佛陀人生的意义是什...
用户评价
在极其吵杂甚至有时还臭臭的（ktv工作人员的狐臭）环境下读完了。在阅读过程中不断寻找平和的心境。
评分一见如故
评分woolf论蒙田提到了与灵魂对话还有通过不同出行态度来看人生也很有趣
评分A very delightful read. And it saddens me that a person as charismatic as Montaigne still has to die. Next up: The Essays.
