«San Manuel Bueno, mártir» is the novel by Miguel de Unamuno published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
Don Manuel, parish priest of a village by a lake, embodies the struggle between faith and doubt. The novel uses symbols such as the lake, the mountain and the snow to portray a protagonist who silently assumes uncertainty and thereby sustains his community's belief; it is considered Unamuno's spiritual testament.
Number 95 in the Letras Hispánicas collection, edited by Mario Valdés. Reproduces the definitive 1933 edition and includes variants from the 1930 one.
Suitable for students of Spanish literature and for readers interested in Unamuno's thought.
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".
