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?”
Sarah Bakewell was a curator of early printed books at the Wellcome Library before becoming a full-time writer, publishing her highly acclaimed biographies The Smart and The English Dane. She lives in London, where she teaches creative writing at City University and catalogues rare book collections for the National Trust.
A very delightful read. And it saddens me that a person as charismatic as Montaigne still has to die. Next up: The Essays.

評分太長....沒讀完就扔書櫃瞭..
我们最豪迈,最光荣的事业乃是生活得写意。 这份“写意”,不是活在旁人眼中的,不是写意给别人看的。若非如此,那最豪迈和光荣的事业依然令我们疲累不堪,只不过是换了副样貌,我们依旧在俗世所拥奉的成就中追逐奔劳。 “我们应该拥有妻子、子女、财富,以及最重要的健康。但...
評分蒙田有一句话:“生活本身就是目标,生活本身就是目的。” 或许因为太多人渴望听他讲生活意义,所以他只得给出这样一个放之四海而皆准——也就等于什么也没说——的答案;或许,这正是蒙田对生活的看法。 蒙田的生活态度,接近于佛陀。有一个故事说,有人问佛陀人生的意义是什...
評分摘自《阅读蒙田,是为了生活》的前言 二十一世纪到处可见不吝于表现自我的人。如果花半小时上网浏览博客、推特、“优兔”(YouTube)、“视窗现场”(Windows Live)分享空间、脸谱(Facebook)、微信、微博与一些个人网页,你会发现在这片网络大海里可以捕捞到数千个有趣的人,他们...
評分印象比较深刻的是蒙田和拉博埃迪的交往,看到文艺复兴时期一种浪漫和有代表性的交往方式,无论这其中是否掺杂了肉欲。这本书作为一本传记而言是失败的,读者阅读过程中总有隔靴搔痒之感,不如直接阅读《随笔集》好像更能了解蒙田的人生。每一章都用“如何生活”来提问,作者以...
