SAINT MANUEL BUENO, MARTYR (San MANUEL Bueno, Martir) By Miguel de Unamuno If it is for this life only that Christ has given us hope, we of all men are the most to be pitied. ( SAINT Paul, I Corinthians XV, 19.) Now that the Bishop of the Diocese of Renada, which includes my beloved village of Valverde de Lucerna, has started the process of beatification for our Don MANUEL , or SAINT MANUEL Bueno, which is what he was for our parish, I want to set down here, as a confession, which only God, not I, knows what will become of, all that I remember about the blessed man who filled the deepest part of my soul, who was my true spiritual father, the spiritual father of me, Angela Carballino.

Valverde de Lucerna from somewhere else, but he settled here after marrying my mother. He brought with him a lot of books, The Quijote, some classical dramas, some novels, some histories, the Bertoldo. And from them—the only books in our village—I learned to dream as a child. My dear mother hardly said anything about the things my father did
