Reddit mentions of San Manuel Bueno, Martir (European Masterpieces Cervantes & Co. Spanish Classics)

You might enjoy San Manuel Bueno, Martir by Unamuno. I've never read it in English and you can find a complete text in Spanish online here. Short and engaging. As per an amazon.com review (of an english translation),
>This book consists of the memories that a woman from a small town in Spain has of don Manuel, the town's priest. The woman, Anglea, grew up around don Manuel, whom the whole village worships as a saint. Angela, however, knows don Manuel's one secret -- he doesn't believe in God. Don Manuel continues in the church because it is the best way for him to help the people of his villaige. He continues to preach what he sees as a lie because he believes that the simple people of his village need faith to live. Angela, and don Manuel himself, struggle greatly with the question of whether don Manuel is a saint or a hypocrite. This book raises a fascinating question, and it is worth the effort of reading this short novel just to ponder its central theme. Unamuno, however, also suceeds in showing the reader the great tragedy of the title character's life. The novel is emotionally as well as philosophically rich. Don Manuel Bueno, Martir, is a beautiful and rewarding read.
