«Abel Sánchez» is the novel by Spanish writer and philosopher Miguel de Unamuno, published by Alianza in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows Joaquín Monegro, a man consumed by envy towards his friend Abel, and shows how that feeling poisons his existence. Unamuno reflects on jealousy, love and frustration, turning the relationship between the two into a parable about fraternal strife and the human condition.
This edition belongs to the Biblioteca Unamuno collection of Alianza's El Libro de Bolsillo and includes a prologue by Luciano González Egido.
