有理由猜测,蒙田是我们这类俗人最喜欢的思想家和人文作家之一。 在探索人类精神世界与生命意义的长河里,类似《尤利西斯》、《白鲸》级别的难啃书籍太多,像我这种俗人是不会去读完它的,这辈子也翻不到第十页的,拿来装逼也不太好意思。还好有个蒙田,上能与之单向探讨人生,...
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...

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?”

评分太长....没读完就扔书柜了..
评分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A very delightful read. And it saddens me that a person as charismatic as Montaigne still has to die. Next up: The Essays.
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
