"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.
