(2-CD Set) Montaigne's "Essais" (Essays) is one of the greatest and most important books of French literature. They were written at the end of the 16th century. This CD present the second part of our selection of Montaigne's "chef d'oeuvre" made for a contemporary man or woman's preoccupations. The selection has been adapted for a spoken performance. Only a great actor could pretend to take up this challenge, and it's the brilliant Michel Piccoli who did it in this 2CD set.
