«San Manuel Bueno, mártir» is the short novel by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Espasa in paperback (195 pages, in Spanish).
The story, narrated by Ángela Carballino, centres on don Manuel, a rural parish priest admired by his parishioners who hides a deep inner crisis: he has lost faith in immortality and continues to sustain the hope of the village through his example. Through this contradiction, Unamuno reflects on doubt, conscience and the meaning of life.
Volume 110 of the Austral Collection, edited by Víctor García de la Concha. Includes the text revised by Unamuno in 1933 and a didactic appendix.
Recommended for literature students and for readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish narrative and in the thought of Miguel de Unamuno.
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".
