Augusto Pérez is a wealthy, idle young man who falls in love at first sight with Eugenia, a spirited pianist. His obsessive pursuit leads him through philosophical musings, romantic entanglements, and a growing sense that his world is not quite real. When he confronts his own creator—the author Miguel de Unamuno—he learns a devastating truth: he is a character in a novel. Can a fictional being choose his own fate? This modern retelling preserves Unamuno's witty, poignant exploration of identity, free will, and the stories we inhabit. Part of Timeless Classics.
