"The concerted efforts of three respected Santayana scholars have
coalesced in this book that includes the transcription of the
philosopher’s letters to Charles A. Loeser and to Albert von
Westenholz. Daniel Pinkas discovered and analyzed them only
recently and they are published here for the first time, in English and
Spanish, translated by Daniel Moreno and presented by José Beltrán.
The volume comprises the letters Santayana sent to his two friends
over five long decades, spanning the nineteenth and twentieth
century. This collection of epistolary writings constitutes a surprising
mosaic-like jewel made up of a constellation of life episodes that
pulsate in each and every letter and resonate suggestively in the
echo-chamber of Santayana’s body of work".
