Atkinson and David Sices Montaigne: Selected Essays FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Drawn from James B. Atkinson and David Sices Montaigne: Selected Essays, this annotated translation of tienne de La Boties political masterpiece offers an ideal opportunity to become acquainted with the thought of a brilliant though short-lived sixteenth-century French thinker known for "his mortal and sworn hatred for all vice," as his friend Michel de Montaigne put it, "but particularly for that sordid traffic concocted under thehonorable title of justice." Author Biography James B. Atkinson is an independent scholar. David Sices is Professor Emeritus of French and Italian, Dartmouth College. Review An excellent translation: clear, crisp and accurate. The introduction is also a helpful contextualization of the text, Boéties relation to Montaigne, and a brief discussion of the history of this important text on non-cooperation in the 20th-Century. I highly recommend it for courses in the history of political theory and of non-cooperation as a means of regime change. --James Tully, Department of Political Science, University of VictoriaA powerful rendition of La Boeties soldierly prose (as Montaigne would have it). . . . With this unassuming book, the authors have not only offered a solid introduction to Étienne de La Boétie and his legacy, but also passed on to us a living document (Harry Kurz) which may yet find resonance in our own troubled times. --Jeremie Korta, Harvard University, in Sixteenth Century Journal Long Description Drawn from James B. Atkinson and David Sices Montaigne: Selected Essays , this annotated translation of Review Quote Atkinson and Sices have that rare ability . . . to discover [the French languages] virtuoso capacity to express rather than tell."
