Excellent book. Both philosophical and funny. Montaignes enthusiasm, wisdom and knowledge are infectious. Proof that philosophy doesn't need to be dry and difficult.

I went in expecting some good writing and left with a close friend. What more could you ask for? No wonder Shakespeare plagiarized from him.

From BBC Radio 3:
In 1588, the essayist and landowner Michel de Montaigne, set out on a journey round the troubled kingdom of France. He was on a mission - to reconcile the Valois King Henri the Third, a Catholic, with his likely successor, the Bourbon King of Navarre, a Protestant. It's high stakes: intensified Civil War the consequence of failure.
It's a Kindle freebie at Amazon either in English or in French. Thanks Misfit for the tip on Dumas books, I found almost one hundred more books in French.
