56,95 - 98,95 kr. Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano.La novela narra la situación de Augusto Pérez, un joven rico licenciado en Derecho. Hijo único de Madre viuda, a la muerte de su madre no halla qué hacer con su vida hasta que un día, paseando sin rumbo, conoce a una guapa joven pianista, Eugenia Domingo del Arco de la que se enamora o cree enamorarse y cuya amistad trata de conseguir, cosa que efectivamente logra. Conoce a la familia de ella, que es también huérfana y vive con sus tíos, don Fermín, un "anarquista místico", y doña Hermelinda.Su cortejo es al comienzo rechazado por Eugenia, quien aclara a Augusto que ella ya tiene un novio, llamado Mauricio. Ante la respuesta de Eugenia, Augusto entabla una relación amorosa con una de sus sirvientas ocasionales, la señorita que le planchaba, Rosario. Después de algunas peripecias, Eugenia, movida, al parecer, por los celos, el instinto de competencia, y un quiebre con Mauricio, decide aceptar a Augusto como novio y futuro esposo.Miguel de Unamuno nació en Bilbao en 1864.

Se le considera uno de los autores más destacados de la literatura española.

- Philosophical Thoughts on Life, Death, Adversity, Consciousness, Religion and the Personal Achievement of Authenticity
168,95 kr. Tragic Sense of Life is a book of philosophical reflection which considers the nature and transience of humanity, the trials - physical, societal and emotional - of existence, together with death and the afterlife.A superb treatise whereby the author's intellect is unleashed upon a variety of questions, this text combines the passionate liveliness found in Unamuno's fictional efforts with a thought-provoking gravitas cast upon life and living. The towering ambitions of man are shown to pale in the face of limitations and reality: immortality, the greatest aspiration of all, is but an impossibility. The title, in alluding to tragedy, foretells the author's argument that life and human nature have a strong streak of absurdity. In the final chapter, the author compares the classic story of Don Quixote - the man whose mad ambition led him to ride his horse in four directions at once - with everyday human life.
