"Persons And Places - The Background Of My Life" is a fascinating autobiographical volume written by George Santayana and published in 1944. It weaves together the threads of the philosopher and the biographer - to furnish a charming and rather profound picture of the people and places that have contributed to Santayana's character and thought. This book is highly recommended for fans of Santayana s work. The chapters of this book include: Time, Place and Ancestry, My Father, My Mother, The Sturgises, My Sister Susana, Avila, Early Memories, I am Transported to America, No. 302 Beacon Street, The Latin School, The Church of the Immaculate Conception, etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author." No library descriptions found. |
