«Vida de Don Quijote y Sancho» is the literary and philosophical essay by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Ediciones Cátedra in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
Unamuno reinterprets the Quijote as a living myth and turns it into an excuse to speak about Spain, faith and the struggle for immortality. Against academic erudition, he offers a passionate reading that pits don Quijote's idealism against Sancho's realism, and defends the hidalgo as a spiritual guide.
Work originally published in 1905. Edition by Alberto Navarro, number 279 of the Letras Hispánicas collection.
Intended for the general public and for readers of Spanish literature interested in an interpretive reading of the Quijote.
Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher and academic. His major philosophical essay was Tragic Sense of Life (1913), and his most famous novels were Abel Sánchez: The History of a Passion (1917), a modern exploration of the Cain and Abel story, and Mist (1914), which The Literary Encyclopedia calls "the most acclaimed Spanish Modernist novel".
