Miguel de Unamuno y André Gide ante el espejo

Abstract

ABSTRACT: This essay sets out to study the narrative projects of Miguel de Unamuno and André Gide from a comparative angle. Starting from Unamuno's Cómo se bace una novela and La novela de Don Sandalio, jugador de Ajedrez, on the one hand, and Gide's Faux-Monnayeurs and Journal des faux-monnayeurs, on the other, I examine the relationships that prevail within these authors' respective ceuvres and analyze a number of psychological traits associated with their uses of diary writing and the mise en abyme.
