Ratnoff was married to Rodolfo Ignacio Mayorga Lacayo, the son of Roman Mayorga Rivas who is considered the founder of modern journalism in Nicaragua. At some point, Ratnoff and Rodolfa got divorced. Ratnoff lived from 1908 to 1984, and must have been studying in Spain. With her bookplate. Fourth edition.

Very Good with light rubbing, front hinge opens a little freely, pages toned with. Books inscribed by Unamuno are rare, especially this book, his best-known philosophical work.

Faced with this tension, we can only make sense of our hope for immortality in terms of irrational faith."
