Abel Sanchez and Other Stories by Miguel de Unamuno

5.0

Joaquin Montenegro spends his entire life wallowing in his own self pity only to find that the life that he led chasing after his counterpart Abel Sanchez was meaningless.

This story reminds me of the stubbornness of Captain Ahab in Moby Dick and the obsession invested in Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby. These characters inevitably fulfill this fate and can never escape it.
