Miguel De Unamuno

Fog (Translated) Miguel De Unamuno

Mist from Unamuno, also translated as FogIn 1914, Miguel de Unamuno published a rather peculiar novel, one that he preferred to classify as Nivola, thus avoiding the criticisms that would arise if it were compared with other works. The name of the novel is Niebla in Spanish and it was translated into English as Mist or Fog. Miguel de UnamunoUnamuno is one of the most important authors in Spanish literature. He was born in Bilbao in 1864 and died in Salamanca in 1936. Today, his name resonates as one of the greatest novelists and he is also one of the representatives of the Generation of 1898. Fog synopsisThrough this work, Miguel collects many of the ideas that he presented in his previous writings. However, he does so through the life of Augusto Pérez, his main character, whom he portrays as a wealthy man with a law degree. The story itself doesn't have too many twists and turns, but the writer tried to give it another dimension. A new work that he himself would classify under the category of "Nivola" and not a novel, as people would conventionally describe it otherwise. What happens in MistIt all begins when Augusto sees a woman he ends up falling madly in love with. He will try to get her attention with his limited resources, but she will reject him because he is already with someone else. However, he will eventually agree to meet up, but only to take advantage of him. Finally, she writes him on her wedding day and explains that it was all a hoax. From this moment on, the reader attends a real revolution from the narrative point of view.
