Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 14

"Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 14" by Michel de Montaigne is a collection of thoughtful essays that look closely at complex moral questions. It seeks to understand how people can stay true to themselves in a world filled with dishonesty, touching on subjects like the struggle between doing what’s right and making money, what it really means to be sorry for something, and how differently people act. Examples from history and personal stories help show how hard it can be to be honest when others are not, and how sometimes people feel forced to lie to get ahead. The author argues it's important to stick to your beliefs, even when it's difficult, and encourages readers to think about their own decisions and what they owe to society through his reflective writing style.
