On the Cannibals

In "On the Cannibals," Michel de Montaigne reflects on his remarkable journey to Brazil in the late sixteenth century, examining the customs of indigenous peoples compared to European society. First translated into English in 1603, the essay challenges the notion of European superiority, highlighting the brutal actions of Portuguese soldiers and presenting a compelling case for cultural relativism. Narrated by Malk Williams, this audiobook offers an insightful exploration of civility, barbarism, and the complexities of human behavior.
