«San Manuel Bueno, mártir» is the short novel by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Alianza in paperback (64 pages, in Spanish).
Ángela Carballino remembers don Manuel, an exemplary priest much loved by his community. Beneath that image of devotion, don Manuel hides a conscience tormented by doubt: he has lost the faith he preaches. The novel turns that contradiction into a reflection on faith, truth and hope.
San Manuel Bueno, mártir was first published in 1930 and belongs to the Alianza Cien collection (no. 73) of Alianza Editorial.
For its brevity and philosophical depth, it is a common reading in schools and universities.
Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher and academic.
