Essays is the title given to a collection of 107 essays written by Michel de Montaigne that was first published in 1580. Montaigne essentially invented the literary form of essay, a short subjective treatment of a given topic, of which the book contains a large number. Essai is French for "trial" or "attempt".
Montaigne's stated goal in his book is to describe man, and especially himself, with utter frankness. He finds the great variety and volatility of human nature to be its most basic features. A typical quote is "I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself." He describes his own poor memory, his ability to solve problems and mediate conflicts without truly getting emotionally involved, his disgust for man's pursuit of lasting fame, and his attempts to detach himself from worldly things to prepare for death.

Quand il propose de dévoiler les ressorts les plus complexes de sa personnalité, Montaigne ne s'épanche guère sur sa vie maritale ou amoureuse. Isolé mais central, le thème de l'amitié tient une place d'honneur et d'importance dans les textes de l'humaniste. La solitude que feu son grand ami La Boétie lui a laissée en gage amène Montaigne à écrire le carnet de notes et de réflexions intimes qui est finalement devenue l'oeuvre magistrale des Essais. Aussi peut-on aisément comprendre qu'il dédie un chapitre à celui qu'il rencontra au Parlement de Bordeaux en 1557, et qui lui apprit la puissance du stoïcisme. Avertissant des dangers de l'amitié sur l'intégrité de l'individualité, Montaigne reconnaît cependant son caractère privilégié et indispensable, dans l'une des plus belles pages de la littérature française.
