Niebla
Niebla
Miguel De Unamuno
¥9.00
No es una novela. Es una "nivola", según su autor. Nuevo género creado por Unamuno, no tuvo mucho arraigo, pero aún así Niebla es una de las obras de ficción más importantes del escritor vasco. El libro aborda la inseguridad del hombre moderno que se preocupa por su destino y su mortalidad. El título está cargado de significado, dado que el libro difumina la línea entre la ficción y la realidad. También son nebulosas las descripciones físicas de los personajes y lugares, y hasta pone en duda la naturaleza de la existencia humana.

La tía Tula, es, según 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.

Satisfecho el instinto de maternidad, ?para qué perder su virginidad? Es virgen madre?. Pero sobre este ca?amazo argumental teje Unamuno una obra cargada de sentidos plurales: Tula, la protagonista, que encarna la concepción tradicional de la familia y de la mujer y que es, a al vez, víctima de ella, ejemplifica la figura del agonista unamuniano dividido en mil contradicciones.
