«San Manuel Bueno, mártir. Cómo se hace una novela» is a volume bringing together the novel and the essay by Miguel de Unamuno, in paperback (Alianza, 152 pages).
A village priest hides his disbelief to keep his parishioners' faith alive; his story opens a reflection on immortality, truth and appearance, and on self-sacrifice for one's neighbor. The volume is completed with «Cómo se hace una novela», where Unamuno meditates, from exile, on the craft of writing and on himself.
Volume number 97 of the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Biblioteca Unamuno. The text is in Spanish.
For readers of Spanish classics and philosophical fiction, as well as for literature students who want to approach Unamuno's thought.
