The Beggar and the Professor: A Sixteenth-Century Family Saga Paperback - 1998
by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie; Arthur Goldhammer (Translator)
From a wealth of vivid autobiographical writings, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie reconstructs the extraordinary life of Thomas Platter and the lives of his sons, bringing to life the customs, perceptions, and character of an age poised at the threshold of modernity. 26 halftones. 5 maps.
First line
In 1563, in the final weeks of spring (F 401), Thomas Platter, an erst-while highland shepherd and vagabond who had gone on to become first a printer and later a boarding-school teacher and headmaster in Basel, decided, at the age of sixty-four, to leave Basel on a pilgrimage of reminiscence to the land of his birth: the German-speaking Upper Valais, situated downsteam from the Rhone glacier and upstream from Lausanne and Geneva, the heartland of francophone Switzerland.
From the rear cover
From a wealth of vivid autobiographical writings, Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie reconstructs the extraordinary life of Thomas Platter and the lives of his sons as they crossed physical, political, and social boundaries in moving from peasantry to the professions of the new bourgeoisie. With masterful erudition, Le Roy Ladurie deepens and expands the historical contexts of these accounts and, in the process, brings to life the customs, perceptions, and character of the sixteenth century -- an age poised at the thresh-old of modernity.
