Beloved Son Felix
Language: English
Published by McNally Jackson Books, US, 2026
ISBN 10: 1961341689 ISBN 13: 9781961341685
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. "Like the diary of Samuel Pepys or the memoirs of François-René de Chateaubriand, Beloved Son Felix [is] an invaluable and entertaining firsthand exploration of a bygone era . . . We are allowed a rare glimpse into the street-level experiences of a common Renaissance man." -Michael Patrick Brady, The Wall Street JournalThe wildly vivid, rare, and revealing journals of a sixteenth-century medical student.In 1552, sixteen-year-old Felix Platter left Basel, Switzerland, and journeyed 370 miles to Montpelier, France to study medicine. His journals chronicle five astonishing years of youth in a time of plague, war, and awakening. A Protestant in a Catholic kingdom, Felix witnessed blood-chilling executions and engaged in secret religious discussions with his landlord, a Marrano Jew. He learned to play the lute, tasted olive oil for the first time, and swam in the sea. He flirted (unsuccessfully) and danced (disastrously), fled from highway robbers, saw John Calvin preach, survived an outbreak of the bubonic plague, joined in a massive, orange-throwing food fight, acquired a dog, and spent one Christmas Eve alone and afraid of the dark.Most astonishing of all, he wrote it down.As Stephen Greenblatt writes in his introduction to this new edition, "Keeping diaries and writing autobiographies did not become a widespread practice until the mid-seventeenth century"-but Felix created an astonishing document: an intimate, sometimes hilarious chronicle of Renaissance adolescence from the inside, whose "vividness, intimacy, candor, and charm" lend it an "altogether rare and revealing character.".
