«La envidia» is the essay collection compiled by Carlos Castilla del Pino, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (158 pages, in Spanish).
It studies envy as a passion that consumes those who suffer it and manifests in cautious behavior, made of concealment and surveillance of the envied. It traces its history from the invention of Satan as envy of God to its function as a social regulatory mechanism, and analyzes Unamuno's Abel Sánchez as a classic example of an envious person.
It belongs to the Alianza Universidad collection and is the fifth volume with the tasks of the Seminar on the Anthropology of Conduct directed by Carlos Castilla del Pino.
Recommended for readers of psychology and social sciences interested in the analysis of emotions and their social mechanisms.
Spanish writer and psychiatrist (1922-2009)
