很情慾的。 也許這正好是種自戀, 讓讀到的蒙田給自己正中下懷 正中下懷 聽起來就很情慾 蘇格拉底或是尼采、吳爾芙 甚至莎士比亞 有某種質地綿延地在流轉 所有人也各自延伸了各種文本 令人驚訝文學的意義 卻又理所當然似的 也許該重讀張惠菁的蒙田筆記 當年萬萬沒可能讀懂 ...
评分 评分得到听书: 蒙田是400多年前的一个法国作家,他是西方第一个写自己寻常生活的作家,他把道德哲学和普通人的私人生活联系起来。我们今天阅读蒙田,实际上是在探寻自己的心灵之链。把自己生活中的困惑,和前辈作家的经验链接起来。蒙田有点儿像古代的德波顿,或者说,现在那位英国...

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?”

评分一见如故
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.
