Timeless Essays

The essay is a literary genre that can be traced back to its early development by Michel de Montaigne, in the 16th century. Montaigne's pioneering work, "Essais" (translated as "Essays"), served as the catalyst for the evolution of this distinctive form of writing. Essays have since become a versatile and influential mode of expression, encompassing a wide range of topics and styles, and have played a crucial role in shaping the world of literature and intellectual discourse.
