Contraportada:

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.|First published in 1935, 'The Last Puritan' was the American philosopher's only novel, and it became an instant best seller.
