Tesoros de la Hispanidad'Yo creo, ya lo sabes, y vaya de paradoja, que hay recuerdos de cosas futuras, como hay esperanzas de cosas pasadas, y esto es la añoranza'.La novela de Don Sandalio, jugador de ajedrez es la última obra de Miguel de Unamuno. En tono de comedia, esta novela epistolar resume el sombrío estado de ánimo del autor en los preludios de la guerra civil española. Quizás sea por eso que, sin faltar la ironía, habitual en sus obras, aquí se acentúan la crítica al género humano y, además de sonrisas, hay lágrimas.Ambientado en 1910 en un balneario al pie de la montaña, el relato comienza con las disquisiciones existenciales de un misántropo que busca escapar a la estupidez humana refugiándose en la soledad de la naturaleza. Para intentar reconciliarse con la humanidad, empieza a ir al casino, donde queda fascinado por el enigmático Don Sandalio, contrincante asiduo de las partidas de ajedrez. Poco comunicativo, es una esfinge para su compañero de juego, que no puede discernir entre el Don Sandalio real y el fabulado por su propia imaginación. Magistralmente, Unamuno cierra la historia con un giro inesperado, transformándola en una novela de misterio policial y judicial.Publicada en 1933 con San Manuel Bueno, mártir, Un pobre hombre rico y Una historia de amor, La novela de Don Sandalio concentra todo lo bueno de Unamuno, ya entrado el siglo XX y enfrentado a una modernidad que comienza a serle ajena.Heir of Søren Kierkegaard and a precursor of continental existentialism, Miguel de Unamuno  (Spain, 1864-1936) is one of the main European philosophers of the 20th century, and an outstanding Generation of ’98 author.Who is Don Sandalio, the sphynx that mesmerizes the unnamed hero of this epistolary novel? Set in a coastal mountain resort at the dawn of the 20th century, this book summarizes Unamuno´s philosophy and is a reflection of his disenchantment with a world that is turning sour, as the Spanish Civil War is about to break out.La novela de Don Sandalio, jugador de Ajedrez (1931), is Miguel de Unamuno’s last novel and a Spanish classic. A departure from his previous nivola format, this book features beautiful, yet concise, descriptions. It is an easy read for people who have an advanced command of Spanish.
