How?' -- so that when at last there was left but the bare fifteen minutes needed to get one home in time for the midday dinner she said abruptly: 'And when shall I see you again?'

Miguel De Unamuno

Al igual que la mayor parte de las novelas de Unamuno, y a diferencia de las novelas realistas al uso en la época, Abel Sánchez carece de indicaciones cronológicas y geográficas concretas se sitúa así 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 bíblica que se repite, en los caínes y abeles.

A la même époque, il y avait à Ferrare une jeune damoiselle du nom de Valéria. Elle passait pour être l'une des plus grandes beautés de la ville, encore qu'on ne la v?t guère, car elle menait un genre de vie fort retiré et ne sortait de chez elle que pour se rendre à l'église, ou à la promenade, les jours de fête. Elle habitait avec sa mère, une veuve noble, mais peu fortunée, dont elle était l'unique enfant. Quiconque la croisait dans la rue, éprouvait aussit?t un sentiment d'involontaire surprise, due à sa beauté, et de tendre respect, inspiré par sa modestie : la jeune fille semblait ne pas se rendre compte du charme qui émanait de toute sa personne.

Assez ! me disais-je à moi-même, en gravissant péniblement le flanc d’une montagne escarpée qui s’élevait depuis les rives d’un fleuve paisible. Assez ! me répétai-je, en humant l’haleine résineuse d’un bosquet de sapins, particulièrement odorante dans la fracheur du crépuscule… Assez ! me dis-je de nouveau en m’asseyant sur un tertre moussu qui surplombait le fleuve, les yeux fixés sur les vagues sombres et paresseuses que dominaient les tiges vert clair des joncs… Assez,assez remué, assez erré : il est temps de rentrer en soi-même, de se prendre la tête à deux mains, et d’ordonner à son cur de ne plus battre.

Je n'étais plus couché, mais assis sur mon séant, et, à l'endroit où j'avais cru apercevoir la vision, il n'y avait plus qu'une longue raie de lumière blanche, projetée par la lune.
