«La tía Tula» is the novel by Miguel de Unamuno published in 2016 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform in paperback (90 pages, in Spanish).
«La tía Tula» focuses on Tula, a woman who dedicates her life to caring for her family. Unamuno reflects on sexuality, motherhood and virginity; he criticises the role of women in Christianity and compares that family structure to a beehive, with its queen and its drones. The action takes place in Spain at the beginning of the twentieth century.
«La tía Tula» was originally published in 1921, although the project had existed since 1902; this Spanish edition appeared in 2016.
A classic of the Generation of '98, present in school curricula, for those approaching Spanish narrative from the first third of the twentieth century.
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".
