«En torno al casticismo» is the book of philosophical essays by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (168 pages, in Spanish).
It brings together five essays that appeared in 1895 in the magazine La España Moderna, in which Unamuno explores Spanish identity. It introduces the idea of intrahistoria, the everyday, anonymous life underlying great events, and reflects on the being of Spain, its tradition and Europe, anticipating the disaster of 1898.
Edition from the Austral Collection of Espasa-Calpe (no. 234), with an introduction by Luciano González Egido. The essays were collected in volume form in 1902.
For readers interested in the philosophy and history of Spain, as well as in Unamuno's thought and the debate on national identity.
Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher and academic. His major philosophical essay was Tragic Sense of Life (1913), and his most famous novels were Abel Sánchez: The History of a Passion (1917), a modern exploration of the Cain and Abel story, and Mist (1914), which The Literary Encyclopedia calls "the most acclaimed Spanish Modernist novel".
