Description:
Michel de Montaigne was one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance, singlehandedly responsible for popularising the essay as a literary form. This Penguin Classics edition of The Complete Essays is translated from the French and edited with an introduction and notes by M.A. Screech.
In 1572 Montaigne retired to his estates in order to devote himself to leisure, reading and reflection. There he wrote his constantly expanding 'assays', inspired by the ideas he found in books contained in his library and from his own experience. He discusses subjects as diverse as war-horses and cannibals, poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, ecstasy and experience. But, above all, Montaigne studied himself as a way of drawing out his own inner nature and that of men and women in general. The Essays are among the most idiosyncratic and personal works in all literature and provide an engaging insight into a wise Renaissance mind, continuing to give pleasure and enlightenment to modern readers.
With its extensive introduction and notes, M.A. Screech's edition of Montaigne is widely regarded as the most distinguished of recent times.
Michel de Montaigne (1533-1586) studied law and spent a number of years working as a counsellor before devoting his life to reading, writing and reflection.

'Screech's fine version ... must surely serve as the definitive English Montaigne'

'A superb edition'

Stylish, comfortable, and a great price.
Size: 11, Color: Dark/Blue, Size: 11, Color: Dark/Blue
Can't beat the quality at this price. This is my 2nd pair, my last pair (in brown) lasting almost 3 years as a work shoe in a dusty warehouse. Nice and light. Fitment is true to size. Very good looking and comfortable shoe. I suggest insoles as the soles are a little thin and can be rough on a bad back. And they squeak on the floor after they age. But again, for the price you can't beat these shoes. Did, would, and will buy again.

Excellent shoes.
Size: 11, Color: Black
Exceptionally comfortable and stylish. Great with casual slacks or jeans. If you have a casual work space or casual Fridays, these will be great. Good support. Good fit. Sizes are accurate.

Nice shoe, sizing information on this review
Size: 9, Color: Grey, Size: 9, Color: Grey
Ok, let's talk Breeze Mesh Sneakers by Bruno Marc (Grey)...... Firstly, they are nicely stylish appearance wise. They are lightweight (which I like). They feel comfortable and easy to walk in. I have not owned them very long, so I can't inform you on long term wear or how they feel after months of use. I own many pairs of shoes, mostly running type shoes. I needed a pair like these to wear in a more formal situation. Maybe with some dress pants or nice jeans. Now let's discuss the SIZING which is very important to me. Without a good fit, your shoes will never feel right when wearing. I normally wear size 9 in Men's. I seen someone mention that they 'run small'. I can do 9.5 in those situations, so I ordered 9.5. When they arrived and I tried them on, it was obvious they were too big. too much toe room in front. So I returned them for my normal size which is 9 Men's. Much better. AND, i still have toe room in front (no tightness). My suggestion to you is to order your normal size. The shoes feel like quality shoes and I feel that are a good purchase (for the price). The shoes came quickly. Bruno Marc is a good overall shoe. Hope this information helps.

These shoes adequately do the job they're meant to do
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
For shoes to wear daily for work, these are absolutely perfect. I give four stars simply because they are not 100% perfect; that is, they are a reflection of their cost and durability. With that said, these shoes are perfect for my role as a professor AND a person who walks half a mile from the train station to class and back 5x a week. Comfortable. Nice cushion on the heel. And they look really amazing - classy but not pretentious. I bought a second pair a week after the first just so I could have different colors, and it is likely I will get a third pair. For $40-ish dollars, they do the job they're meant to and they do it well. This picture shown are the originals I bought, but I also got the black pair, too.

Great shoes
Size: 10.5, Color: Dark Grey
I saw people wearing shoes like this in the office (maybe not the same brand), so I ordered a pair to see how they feel. They feel amazing. It's basically sneaker that look ok to be worn with pants and sport jacket. Fit is great, I ordered my usual size and they fit nicely. Sole is thick enough to make them comfortable, not too thick to looks like a sport sneaker. Durability seems ok, wore them couple of times, so I can't really tell, but they seems like they can last long time.
