“In recalling the scenes of his youth, he did something extraordinary: he set aside his years of experience and knowledge of the world and recovered what it felt like to be a naïve, untested teenager venturing out into unfamiliar and often dangerous territory . . . The result reflects rare gifts of inexhaustible curiosity, sharp intelligence, and a canny eye for detail.” —Stephen Greenblatt, from the Foreword “This book gives a rare glimpse into the life of a teenage medical student in 16th century France. His diaries detail his interest in anatomy (leading to some grave-robbing), his navigating the complicated religious landscape, and his day-to-day relationship with friends, plus meeting girls. He comes through as intelligent, observant and kind – a wonderful guide to a chaotic and frightening time period.” —Suzanne Morgan, Politics & Prose (Washington, DC)
