«San Manuel Bueno, mártir, y tres historias más» is the narrative volume by Miguel de Unamuno published by Espasa-Calpe SA in the Austral collection (160 pages, in Spanish).
The main work is San Manuel Bueno, mártir, a novella set in Valverde de Lucerna. Through the memoirs of Ángela Carballino, it delves into the life of don Manuel, a parish priest loved by his community who secretly harbours doubts about faith, and the novella thus explores the tragic sense of existence. The volume is completed with three stories: «La novela de don Sandalio, jugador de ajedrez», «Un pobre hombre rico o el sentimiento cómico de la vida» and «Una historia de amor».
Includes the text revised by Unamuno himself for this publisher in 1933, collated with the manuscript kept in the Casa-Museo de Salamanca.
Suitable for readers interested in twentieth-century Spanish literature and in the great philosophical questions about faith and truth.
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".
