La Peregrinación de Bayoán. Novela a modo de diario que escribió Eugenio María de Hostos, es una revisión de las ideas románticas de la época en que se publicó (1863). Excelente documento para entender los pensamientos sociales y políticos de Hostos. Donde Hostos sueña con un mundo mejor, mostrando sus propias vivencias, una búsqueda de su identidad. Tal como el mismo Hostos dice en su prólogo: "Este libro, más que un libro, es un deseo; más que deseo, una intención; más que una intención, es sed. Sed de justicia y de verdad; Intención de probar que hay otra dicha mejor que la que el hombre busca: Deseo de que el ejemplo fructifique".

Eugenio María de Hostos was born in Mayagüez on January 11, 1839. His parents were Don Eugenio María de Hostos y Rodríguez and Doña María Hilaria de Bonilla y Cintrón.
He attended school in San Juan. At the age of 13 he went to Spain to study at the Institute of Bilbao and the University of Madrid.
While studying law, he wrote newspaper and magazine articles on the need for autonomy for the Spanish West Indies. He joined the Spanish republicans because their leaders promised autonomy for Cuba and Puerto Rico; but when the republicans triumphed over the monarchy, he refused the post of deputy for Puerto Rico, feeling betrayed. In 1869 he left for New York, where he became managing editor of a Cuban revolutionary newspaper. He was already well known because of his sociopolitical novel, La peregrinacion de Bayoán (1863), as well as his articles. From 1870 to 1874 Hostos sought aid for Puerto Rico and Cuba. He lived in Argentina and then, returning to New York, became involved in a mission to carry reinforcements to the Cubans, who were fighting for their independence. However, the expedition of which he was part sailed from Boston but never arrived in Cuba. Hostos next went to the Dominican Republic, where he edited Las tres Antillas. In 1877 he left for Venezuela. Returning to the Dominican Republic in 1879, Hostos became a teacher at Santo Domingo National University. During his 10 years there, he started the country's first normal school. He also wrote the Dominican laws for public education. His reputation as an educator was such that the government of Chile invited him to help reform its public educational system. He had just published his Moral social (1888), today considered one of his finest writings. While in Chile, Hostos gained that country's women the right to study at the university and to receive training in law and medicine. When the Spanish-American War began in 1898, Hostos returned to Puerto Rico to work for both Puerto Rican and Cuban independence. He formed the League of Puerto Rican Patriots and led the commission that presented U. S. president William McKinley with a plan that would allow a Puerto Rican plebiscite to decide whether Puerto Rico should be annexed to the United States or become independent. The commission failed and no plebiscite was held. Hostos left Puerto Rico in 1900, again disillusioned. He could not understand the United States desire for a Caribbean protective base for its future trade plans and its plans for Panama. He returned to Santo Domingo, at that government's invitation. He died there on August 11, 1903.

"Ideas are born, they struggle, triumph, change, and they are transformed; but is there a dead idea which in the end does not live on, transformed into a broader and clearer goal?"
"All men are good when free from passion, interest, or error. "
"Nearly all human beings love, but nearly none know how to love. "
