Abel Sánchez
Abel Sánchez: A Tale of Passion is considered one of the most important works of Spanish literature of the 20th century. The book is a philosophical and psychological reflection on the human being and its condition. The story revolves around two main characters: Abel and Joaquín. Abel is seen as the personification of life and joy, while Joaquín is the personification of death and suffering. Through the narrative, Miguel de Unamuno explores issues such as the struggle between life and death, the search for happiness and truth, and human nature. In addition, the author uses the figure of Joaquín to question the nature of science and religion, and how they relate to human life. Unamuno's writing is intense and poetic, and his reflections are deep and touching. The book is an enriching and challenging read that will certainly make the reader question their own beliefs and values.

Uncovering the Mind
Migrant architects of the NHS draws on forty-five oral history interviews and extensive archival research to offer a radical reappraisal of how the National Health Service was made. It tells the story of migrant South Asian doctors who became general practitioners in the NHS. Imperial legacies, professional discrimination and an exodus of UK-trained doctors combined to direct these doctors towards work as GPs in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. In some areas, they made up over half of the general practitioner workforce. The NHS was structurally dependent on them and they shaped British society and medicine through their agency. Aimed at students and academics with interests in the history of immigration, immigration studies, the history of medicine, South Asian studies and oral history. It will also be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about how Empire and migration have contributed to making Britain what it is today.

Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) is the towering intellectual giant of early twentieth-century Spain. He wrote novels, plays, poetry and many essays, but is best remembered for his fictional works and for his major philosophical meditation on the nature of existence.
Narrative and Self-Understanding
This exciting new edited collection bridges the gap between narrative and self-understanding. The problem of self-knowledge is of universal interest; the nature or character of its achievement has been one continuing thread in our philosophical tradition for millennia. Likewise the nature of storytelling, the assembly of individual parts of a potential story into a coherent narrative structure, has been central to the study of literature. But how do we gain knowledge from an artform that is by definition fictional, by definition not a matter of ascertained fact, as this applies to the understanding of our lives? When we see ourselves in the mimetic mirror of literature, what we see may not j...
Unamuno, Miguel De, 1864-1936. Abel Sanchez
A version of the Biblical story of Cain and Abel. The Cain of the novel is named Joaquin. Though they are not brothers, they have grown up together, competing as brothers would. Abel becomes a famous and recognized painter while Joaquin becomes a well-known doctor. Joaquin's goal is to outdo Abel by making medical discoveries, thus competing with Abel's art by excelling at science, which also is an art. Joaquin always has been jealous of Abel and competitive with him, but what bothers him most is that Abel does not feel the same sense of rivalry. Abel marries Helena, Joaquin's cousin, whom Joaquin hoped to wed. To allay his envy and hatred, Joaquin marries Antonia, not out of love but simply...
The Nature of Hate and the Hatred of Nature in Hispanic Literatures
The Nature of Hate and the Hatred of Nature in Hispanic Literatures retraces the “nature of hatred” and the “hatred of nature” from the earliest traditions of Western literature including Biblical texts, Medieval Spanish literature, early Spanish Renaissance texts, to nineteenth- and twentieth-century Iberian and Latin American literatures. The nature of hate is neither hate in its weakened form, as in disliking or loving less, nor hate in its righteous form, as in “I hate hatred,” rather hate in its primal form as told and conveyed in so many culturally influential Bible stories that are at the root of hatred as it manifests itself today. The hatred of nature is not only contemp...
Abel Sanchez (Spanish Edition)
Al igual que la mayor parte de las novelas de Unamuno, y a diferencia de las novelas realistas al uso en la �poca, Abel S�nchez carece de indicaciones cronol�gicas y geogr�ficas concretas se sit�a as� en un "tiempo sin tiempo".Por otro lado, en esta novela Unamuno refleja una lucha interior del protagonista, acosado por sus miedos, por sus celos y por sus concepciones encontradas, su religiosidad sin dogmas y la eterna historia b�blica que se repite, en los ca�nes y abeles.
