Book First Edition
Paperback. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows just a hint of wear to the extremities; very mild rubbing to the wrapper covers; a crease top to bottom at the backstrip (does not result in a broken binding); a former owner's rather lengthy gift inscription at the front endpaper; the the pages are bright and crisp; the binding leans somewhat, but remains secure. Nearly new: structurally sound and tightly bound, would make a very handsome reading copy. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. (6.85 x 4.35 x 0.55 inches). 166 pages. Coleccion Austral, Number 99. Language: Spanish. Weight: 6 ounces. First Edition [1939]; Twentieth Edition [1984]; first published in 1914. Mass Market Paperback. Contains twenty-three short essays. Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo (1864 1936) was a Spanish essayist, novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher, and Greek professor and later rector at the University of Salamanca. Miguel de Unamuno was born in Bilbao, a port city of Basque Country, the son of Félix de Unamuno and Salomé Jugo. As a young man, he was interested in the Basque language and competed for a teaching position in the Instituto de Bilbao against Sabino Arana. The contest was finally won by the Basque scholar Resurrección María de Azkue. Unamuno worked in all major genres: the essay, the novel, poetry, and theater, and, as a modernist, contributed greatly to dissolving the boundaries between genres. There is some debate as to whether Unamuno was in fact a member of the Generation of '98, an ex post facto literary group of Spanish intellectuals and philosophers that was the creation of José Martínez Ruiz a group that includes Antonio Machado, Azorín, Pío Baroja, Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Ramiro de Maeztu, and Ángel Ganivet, among others.Unamuno would have preferred to be a philosophy professor, but was unable to get an academic appointment; philosophy was in Spain somewhat politicized. Instead he became a Greek professor. His major philosophical essay was The Tragic Sense of Life (1913), and his most famous novel was Abel Sánchez: The History of a Passion (1917), a modern exploration of the Cain and Abel story. First Edition [1939]; Twentieth Edition [1984]; later impression thus [1914].
