Let us manage our time; there yet remains a great deal idle and ill employed.' Recommended for Montaigne scholars and general readers alike."-- Library Journal, Praise for A Summer with Montaigne "Nothing could be easier to read; these pages are to be savored like a little glass of pastis in the summer."-- Paris Match "A lucid, joyful work that is no more serious than it needs to be."-- Télérama "The clarity of Compagnon's meditations brings this towering French Renaissance man miraculously close."-- Elle "Illustrates Montagine's 'art of living beautifully' while remaining as close as possible to Montaigne's Essays, lingering on its delicacies, and selecting the most enjoyable of its truths as well as its delights."-- L'Express "A tribute to a classic author who is still well and truly in touch with the spirit of the times."-- ActuaLitté "The clarity of Compagnon's analysis renders this once intimidating French Renaissance man miraculously close."-- ELLE, Praise for A Summer with Montaigne "Rarely has Europe produced anything finer in terms of piercing analysis or moral subtlety. . . .

Synopsis
Michel de Montaigne embodies the Humanist ideal. Curious, measured, contemplative yet not unworldly, witty, free of prejudice, and urbane. But what does Montaigne have to tell us about how to think and live today? In forty short, erudite and lively chapters written over a single summer, Antoine Compagnon seeks answers to that question. In A Summer with Montaigne , Compagnon invites his readers to join him as he strolls through Montaigne's key contributions to our understanding of what is good and worthwhile in life. This engaging book, then, serves as both an introduction to Montaigne for readers unfamiliar with his work and a refresher for those who are already acquainted with his unique brilliance, vitality, and timeliness. Montaigne's Essays deal with themes that remain relevant today, from the problems posed by religion, war, power and friendship to the absurdity of our fixations and peccadillos. As accompanies readers through the Essays , Compagnon never pontificates and is never austere, rather he approaches Montaigne with a sense of humor, admiration, and joy., In his writing and his person, Michel de Montaigne embodied the Humanist ideal. Hestands at the start of the French Renaissance in philosophy and literature. But whatdoes Montaigne have to tell us about how to think and live today? In forty short andlively chapters written over a single summer, Antoine Compagnon seeks answers tothat question. Compagnon and his subject are congenial, erudite companions. Bothare vivid reminders that while ever there are people willing to consider carefully,observe passionately, and speak measuredly, there is hope. A few years ago, Antoine Compagnon was asked to host a radio broadcast, every dayfor an entire summer, on a formidable subject: Michel de Montaigne. From thatexperience came this engaging and entertaining book, A Summer with Montaigne . Anintelligent and thought-provoking treatise in forty chapters that will introduce readers unfamiliar with Montaigne to his unique brilliance and remind those who already knowMontaigne's work of its vitality, force, and enduring timeliness. Compagnon breathes life into the musings of Montaigne, approaching his subject notas the recluse many imagine him to have been, but rather a multi-faceted individualof complex thought and astonishing analytical prowess. Once the mayor of Bordeaux,Montaigne was a committed spirit of his time, advising his powerful contemporariesand always in touch with the questions and concerns of the moment, of which manyremain pressing today. Composed over a period of twenty years, Montaigne's Essaysdeal with timeless themes. From the problems posed by religion, war, power andfriendship to the ridiculousness of our weaknesses, Montaigne's Essays remain amoving commentary on what it means to be a human being in any age.
