Not just a biography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
This book is an excellent biography of George Santayana, but it's also more than that. Whenever George Santayana publishes a book, the biographer includes an overview, analysis, and critique of the book. It's like reading a biography of Shakespeare which includes a thorough analysis of each play as it was written. So, in a way, this book is also a "Santayana Companion." It's highly welcome, in an era which needs many more people like George Santayana. Comparing this titan of a man to pipsqueaks like Norman Mailer and William Burroughs is indeed an education in itself. Very highly recommended!
