«Del sentimiento trágico de la vida» is the philosophical essay by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Alianza in paperback (329 pages, in Spanish).
Published in 1913, this essay addresses the human condition and the longing for immortality. Unamuno contrasts reason, which accepts death, with feeling, which rebels against it; from that conflict arises a reflection on faith, consciousness and the meaning of existence, written in an intense and personal prose.

For readers of philosophy, essays and Spanish literature who want to approach the existential thought of Miguel de Unamuno.
