George Santayana The Last Puritan
New York, NY Charles Scribner's Sons 1936 Hardcover Very Good No Jacket Book
First published in 1935, George Santayana's The Last Puritan was the American philosopher's only novel, and it became an instant best-seller, immediately linked in its painful voyage of self-discovery to the Education of Henry Adams. It is essentially a novel of ideas expressed in the birth, life, and early death of Oliver Alden. In Oliver's case the puritanical self-destruction that prevented him from realizing his own spirituality is transcended by his attainment of the type of self knowledge that Santayana recommends throughout his moral philosophy.
