ResumoDon Miguel de Unamuno was a versatile intellectual and man of letters, as well as a committed political man, always seeking truth and democracy, a steadfast critic of all authoritarian excesses, which earned him many problems. Having lost his natural faith in the God of his childhood, he lived tormented all his life by his intellectual inability to rationally find the indications of the existence of God and the immortality of man. He did nothing but formulate infinite times his desire to believe in a God to whom he continually appealed and from whom he only received silence. While still a young man, the illness of his son Raimundo directly confronted him with the anguish of illness and death and caused him one of his first and most serious personal crises. During Primo de Rivera's dictatorial period, Unamuno was exiled, the second great crisis in the life of D. Miguel de Unamuno welcomed with joy the fall of the monarchy and the arrival of the Republic in 1931. But the revolutionary excesses disappointed him and he celebrated the 1936 military uprising with the hope of the restoration of public and political order. The brutality of the indiscriminate executions in the first months of the war once again confronted the authoritarianism of the military. The clash with General Millan- Astray at the Auditorium of the University of Salamanca was a third very hard crisis for an older Unamuno, which probably accelerated his sudden death a few weeks later.
