Published in 1931, 'San Manuel Bueno, mártir' is one of Miguel de Unamuno's most renowned novels. Set in the humble village of Valverde de Lucerna, the story follows the life of the parish priest, Don Manuel Bueno. After his death, he is considered for beatification, yet he hides a profound contradiction and a tragic crisis of conscience, revealed through the testimony of young Ángela Carballino. This philosophical drama delves into themes of faith, the immortality of the soul, and the moral response to existential doubt.
Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher and academic.
