Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. REVEALING: DEFINITVE: NEW First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2017) First Printing * ABOUT THE BOOK: A definitive biography of the great French essayist & thinker: One of the most important writers & thinkers of the Renaissance, Michel de Montaigne (1533-92) helped i…nvent a literary genre that seemed more modern than anything that had come before. But did he do it, as he suggests in his Essays, by retreating to his chateau, turning his back on the world, & stoically detaching himself from his violent times? In this definitive biography, Philippe Desan, one of the world's leading authorities on Montaigne, overturns this longstanding myth by showing that Montaigne was constantly concerned w/ realizing his political ambitions―& that the literary & philosophical character of the Essays largely depends on them. The most comprehensive & authoritative biography of Montaigne yet written, this sweeping narrative offers a fascinating new picture of his life & work. As Desan shows, Montaigne always considered himself a political figure & he conceived of ea. edition of the Essays as an indispensable prerequisite to the next stage of his public career. He lived through 8 civil wars, successfully lobbied to be raised to the nobility, & served as mayor of Bordeaux, special ambassador, & negotiator between Henry III & Henry of Navarre. It was only toward the very end of Montaigne's life, after his political failure, that he took refuge in literature. But, even then, it was his political experience that enabled him to find the right tone for his genre. In this essential biography, we discover a new Montaigne, caught up in the events of his time, making no separation between private & public life, & guided by strategy first in his words & silences. Neither candid nor transparent, but also not yielding to the cynicism of his age, this Montaigne lends a new depth to the Montaigne of literary legend. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: PHILIPPE DESAN is the Howard L. Willett Professor in Renaissance Literature & History of Culture at the University of Chicago & the author of many books. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & packages this fine book w/ our greatest elegance & care for FREE shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL within the United States & its territories or via USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below cost fee of $16.00 w/ shipping to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL at our posted rates.
