La tia Tula, sin duda la mas popular de las novelas de Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936), es, segun su autor, «la historia de una joven que, rechazando novios, se queda soltera para cuidar a unos sobrinos, hijos de una hermana que se le muere. Vive con el cunado, a quien rechaza para marido, pues no quiere manchar con el debito conyugal el recinto en que respiran aire de castidad sus hijos. Satisfecho el instinto de maternidad, para que perder su virginidad? Es virgen madre». Pero sobre este canamazo argumental teje Unamuno una obra cargada de sentidos plurales: Tula, la protagonista, que encarna la concepcion tradicional de la familia y de la mujer y que es, a al vez, victima de ella, ejemplifica la figura del agonista unamuniano dividido en mil contradicciones. / Aunt Tula is the story of a young woman who is left unmarried to care for her dead sister s children. She lives with her brother-in-law, whom she rejects as husband. Satisfied with the instinct of motherhood, she is a virgin mother. She is the victim of a traditional family.

Miguel de Unamuno, perhaps the most influential author of modern Spain, wrote his Treatise on Love of God at the height of his career after suffering a crisis of religious faith. Like Saint Augustine’s Confessions and much of Kierkegaard, the Treatise is a study of religious inwardness and proposes to analyze how God can be found within as a beloved person. Not content with simple introspection, Unamuno considers Church fathers such as Athanasius, Origen, and Tertullian as well as modern religious scholars including Albrecht Ritschl, Auguste Sabatier, and Ernest Renan. Although Unamuno abandoned plans to publish the Treatise after Pope Pius X issued an encyclical against modernist theology, it deserves serious study as a prelude to his immensely successful Tragic Sense of Life and the concentrated work of a great thinker on a deeply serious subject.

'No Spanish voice was heard during the fifty years of his active intellectual life which could compare with his in the strength of his passion nor in the profound seriousness with which he challenged every complacency...The central idea in all his fiction is the struggle to create faith from doubt and ethics from inner strife.'

The generation of Spanish artists known as the 98ers, who renounced politics and sought their country's true spirit within its landscape, culture, and character, are well represented here by thirteen stories by five outstanding authors. Four of the stories are by Miguel de Unamuno, the spiritual leader of the Generation of 1898. Among the other authors included here. Ramón del Valle-Inclán was a chief representative of modernismo fiction. Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, one of the best-known of these writers (though not usually regarded as an authentic 98er), was a keen observer of peasant life. Pío Baroja, sometimes called the foremost Spanish novelist of the twentieth century, wrote a virile, unadorned prose whose style is reputed to have influenced Hemingway. And "Azorín" (José Martinez Ruiz), represented here with a short novel, has an impressionistic and elliptical style that has been described as a literary counterpart to abstract painting. This dual-language edition features an informative introduction and ample footnotes, making it not only a pleasure to read but also a valuable learning and teaching aid for students and teachers of Spanish literature.

A provocative nonconformist and an outspoken enemy of all dogma, Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) excelled in the creation of essays, fiction, poetry, and plays. In La tía Tula, Unamuno paints a memorable portrait of the indomitable Aunt Tula, who fulfills her maternal desires on her own terms. This dual-language edition features an informative introduction and ample footnotes, making it not only a pleasure to read but also a valuable learning aid for students and teachers of Spanish literature. In the introduction, editor and translator Stanley Appelbaum observes that Unamuno's use of idiomatic wordplay "exploits the special features of the Spanish language. His vocabulary ranges from the colloquial to the highbrow. His language is always fascinating, and his experience and skill as a poet—not only a wordsmith, but a thinker in poetic terms—are evident on each page.
