Miguel de Unamuno – Un Pobre Hombre Rico 1954 1st Turkish Book Turkey

Miguel de Unamuno – Un Pobre Hombre Rico (Yaman Adam) – Varlık Yayınları 1954 First Edition

Description:

This is the 1954 first Turkish edition of Un Pobre Hombre Rico (Yaman Adam) by Miguel de Unamuno, published by Varlık Yayınları. The original work, also known as Un Pobre Hombre Rico o El Sentimiento Cómico de la Vida, is a short novel centered on the contradictions and disappointments of an apparently ordinary life. Unamuno completed the work in 1930, and it was published together with other short novels in 1933.

The story follows Emeterio Alfonso, a modest and extremely thrifty bank employee who dedicates himself to his work and gradually accumulates a small fortune. His seemingly secure and orderly existence, however, raises deeper questions about happiness, love, personal choices, and the meaning of a fulfilled life. Unamuno uses the ordinary circumstances of Emeterio's life to explore the contradictions that can quietly frustrate human existence.

This particular copy is especially appealing to collectors because the pages remain completely uncut. The gatherings have never been opened or separated for reading, an unusually scarce condition for a 1950s vintage book. Its compact pocket-size format further reflects the characteristic publishing style of the period.
