I have no more time to write, as I must study for exams.' Your Loving Son, Friederich Behaim.'' This letter, written by Friederich III Behaim in 1579, is just a sample of the delight that awaits readers as they peruse the letters that chronicle the lives of three boys, all members of a powerful merchant family in 16th- and 17th-century Nuremberg. Through their writings, which span the years from age 15 to 25, readers learn about the concerns of these teenagers as they attempt to deal successfully with their mother, guardians (who most often controlled monetary assets), teachers, and masters; leave home; and prepare themselves for the adult world. Ozment's meticulous selection of the 207 letters and his informative notes and commentary create an environment that brings Michael, Friederich, and Stephen Carl to life. The excellent maps and documents and the supplementary information in the six appendixes add scholarly documentation. Lucidly translated and informed by Ozment's useful social, biographical, and historical commentary, these letters spanning three generations (1523-1637) offer an invaluable chronicle of family and business history in early modern Europe; they also provide a fascinating picture of emotional and psychological growth (or lack of same) from adolescence to adulthood. For an insight into economic and political ambition in Nuremberg, then one of the commercial capitals of Europe; the ways in which religion permeated everyday life; student life; military action in the Thirty Years War; early European impressions of Brazil; and many features of private life, students and scholars will want to consult this book.
