Delve into three of Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno's most
haunting parables. This essential Unamuno reader begins with the
full-length novel Abel Sanchez, a modern retelling of the story of
Cain and Abel. Also included are two remarkable short stories, The
Madness of Doctor Montarco and San Manuel Bueno, Martyr, featuring
quixotic, philosophically existential characters confronted by the
dull ache of modernity. Translated by Anthony Kerrigan and with an
insightful introduction by Mario J. Valdes
Philosopher, essayist, dramatist, poet, novelist, Unamuno was an
impassioned and unorthodox thinker whose novels foreshadow the
works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Carlos
Fuentes. Elegantly simple in language, these novels probe the
elemental forces of human personality: In Two Mothers, the demonic
will of a woman runs amok in a whirlwind of maternal power, and in
The Marquis of Lumbria, another unforgettable heroine steers a
violent course through the dense sea of tradition. By contrast,
Nothing Less Than a Man, Unamuno's most forceful piece of writing,
focuses on a truly Nietzchean hero, a man who embodies human will
deprived of spiritual strength.

Siguiendo su peculiar manera de novelar, en que excluye casi por
completo la descripcion de fenomenos externos para atender al
paisaje interior de la personalidad humana, Unamuno ha creado en La
tia Tula un personaje femenino paradojico, complejo y discutible
que no deja frio al lector.

Unwilling to be bound by the categories of religion, Unamuno
rejected the laws that distinguish one literary genre from another.
Thus, some of Unamuno's finest essays are short stories, and vice
versa. Included in this volume are four stories: Tia Tula; The
Novel of Don Sandalio, Chess Player; The Madness of Doctor
Montarco; Saint Manuel Bueno, Martyr and the play The Other.
