How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at An Answer by Sarah Bakewell

1.0

DNF. Very boring, unnecessary details, too few actual teachings of Montaigne. Written in a convoluted and non-straightforward way for no apparent reason, this biography masquerades itself as a sort of self-help book, which keeps telling us how great Montaigne was without really showing us why. I'll just read the original stuff, thank you.
