George Santayana
This book contains George Santayana’s 1945 work, 'The Middle Span Vol. II. - Persons and Places'. It constitutes an interesting and uniquely insightful look into the people and places of the ‘middle span’ of Santayana’s life, and would be of considerable utility to those with an interest in his life and work. The chapters of this book include: “Germany”, “London”, “Russell”, “Changes in Avila”, “Younger Harvard Friends”, “Boston Society”, “Americans in Europe”, and “Official Career at Harvard”. Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, better known as George Santayana (1863 – 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, novelist, and poet. 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.
