Abstract

The concept of étranger in Montaigne may come in two axis associated with the notions ofrejection and attraction: on the one hand, the ideological and physical exile chosen, and, on theother, a foreign fascination linked to the desire for exploration. He feels himself strange in themiddle of a troubled period. He considers the ideas that have provoked these conflicts odd, evengrotesque. Therefore, his choice is not only to give up his public responsabilities and retire in thetower of his castle, but also to find out a shelter in the glorious past of the great civilizations,especially Roman and Greek ones, and in their languages, highly used in a huge amount ofquotations from his essays. This position of rejection contrasts with his attraction towards thestranger, just for being different, unknown, even unrecognized. His desire to learn and explorethe other takes himself to get into through the New World natives or to get into contact withother countries to be discovered.
