Description
Book SynopsisA newly discovered treatise by a major European writer
Trade Review"Gracefully translated from the manuscript with Unamuno's notations, and lucidly annotated by Orringer. . . . The notes contain such a wealth of learning and information to elucidate this seminal work that one can only thank Orringer for his heroic effort. Essential."--
Choice"The
Treatise remained unknown to the reading public, its manuscript in the author's archives, until Nelson R. Orringer prepared it for publication, with a careful introduction and ample annotation. . . . [Orringer's] version is reliable and clear, his erudition informative. He situates the work in the context of Unamuno's unfolding religious thought, and relates it to historical context."--
Times Literary Supplement"We owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Nelson Orringer for bringing to light
Treatise on Love of God, a little gem of an essay by Miguel de Unamuno. . . . Orringer’s translation is fluid, accurate, and eminently readable; his meaty notes are a book unto themselves. You can read the text without referring to the notes, but with them, one savors the fullness of Unamuno’s powerful mind and hungry spirit."--
