«La tía Tula» is the novel by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (176 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows the sacrifices of Gertrudis, Aunt Tula, to satisfy her longing for motherhood. Unamuno explores the opposition between virginity and motherhood, a theme linked to the roots of Christianity, through a contradictory character who arouses mixed feelings. The narrative also incorporates a subtle eroticism.
The novel, originally published in 1921, belongs to the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 267) and includes an edition by Carlos A. Longhurst.
A reference work for readers of classic fiction and for the school study of Spanish literature.
