The Playful Genius: The Story of Horacio V. de la Costa

This book draws us into the life of the extraordinary scholar, Father Horacio de la Costa, SJ. It takes us into his adolescent journey of self-discovery, when he decided to become a priest. This sets him on the path to becoming a brilliant history teacher and writer, and in his spare time, even a builder of model ships. Nostalgic scenes of his times come to life in ink illustrations as well as a timeline with photos shared by the Archives of the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus and the Ateneo University Archives.
