«San Manuel Bueno, mártir» is the novel by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Anaya Infantil y Juvenil in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
The priest don Manuel is admired by his community, who venerate him as a saint. The narrator, Ángela Carballino, reveals the priest's hidden torment: he has lost his faith and pretends to believe to spare those who come to him from desolation. From that intimate conflict, the novel reflects on faith, doubt, appearance and hope.
This edition belongs to the Clásicos Hispánicos collection, edited by Lourdes Yagüe Olmos with illustrations by Federico Delicado. The work was originally published in 1930.
Recommended for readers aged 14 and over, it is among the recommended readings for A-levels and Spanish literature.
