Publisher's Synopsis
One of the most moving works of Miguel de Unamuno, which can be read as a story of passion or as the story of a passion.
"Abel Sánchez" supposes the incorporation into Unamuno's novelistic trajectory of a new narrative mode: the confessional. A subject that belongs to the heritage of culture and that has been approached by literature in all genres receives a double treatment here, since it can be read as another version of the old story of Cain and Abel -a story of passion- or like the analysis of the interiority of a character -the story of a passion-. Beyond that, Unamuno tries to penetrate what has been pointed out as the historical vice of the Spanish, envy and cynicism. Editing of Isabel Criado Miguel.
