Miguel de Unamuno was a Spanish classicist and philosopher. In opposition to the novel, he invented the genre of "nivola" (or "raman"), changing the literary rules of the game. Unamuno in "The Mist" makes the reader a co-author and allows the reader to choose one of two endings.
Augusto, the hero of the raman, suspects that he is merely a figment of the author's imagination, that his life is subject to someone else's will. The light of the eyes of the pretty pianist rescues the hero from the thick fog of everyday life, but at the same time brings this fatal thought. At first, however, Augusto does not pay much attention to it. All his energies are thrown into trying to please the wayward pianist and to win her away from her fiancé. However, the girl begins to play with Augusto's feelings. In despair, he decides to commit suicide, but first comes to his creator home and learns that he is going to kill him ...
The hero of The Mist is both a "little Hamlet" and Don Quixote. In addition to allusions to Shakespeare and Cervantes, one can catch references to Dostoevsky's "Notes from Underground" and "The Beses".
Unamuno plays not only with his character, but also with the readers. He makes us doubt our own existence, hinting that the world around us and everything that happens in it is also someone else's Raman.
The illustrations on the covers of the collection "Magistral. Siesta" are inspired by authentic Spanish and Latin American ornaments and symbols. The flaps - an extension of the cover - can be used as bookmarks.
