How to Live, by Sarah Bakewell, was published by Chatto & Windus in 2010, and by Other Press on September 20, 2011. It is about the life of 16th century nobleman, wine grower, and essayist Michel Eyquem de Montaigne. In it, Bakewell "roughly maps out Montaigne's life against the questions he raises along the way," drawing the answers to these questions from his Essays.
