Historia de un sacerdote ateo, contada por la mujer que más le admiró. Me sentí muy identificado con ella al leerla, claro está, a menor escala, porque durante las catequesis que impartía en aquella época me preguntaba frecuentemente qué demonios hacía un catequista con dudas de las gordas desasnando a un grupo de niños que no saben qué es la religión. La acción transcurre en un pueblo dejado de la mano de Dios, en todos los sentidos. El personaje de Don Manuel es increíble : un hombre que pone por encima de él un ideal que no comparte, pero que sabe que es bueno para el Hombre. Unamuno sabe hurgar en el fondo del alma de los hombres. Probablemente sea un autorretrato suyo en muchos aspectos. Obra maestra.
Un pequeño cuento donde realmente no pasa mucho pero es a la vez intenso con el conflicto interno de un hombre.
Me ha gustado bastante porque algun libro he leido que sin mucho mas contenido se alarga innecesariamente, aqui vamos al grano, al conflicto y a su resolucion sin rodeos.

Read as part of my job as disability services today, technically a short story, but is 60 pages long. Interesting parable about a priest and his charges in Spain. The priest doesn’t really have faith, but he helps others believe and performs miracles. This story is quite touching even if it is short and translated.
A mind changer from my early adult years.
Mi primera incursión a Unamuno. Increíble. Me deja mucho que pensar.
