often hear you say, and I tell you, not reach the Peninsula developments are published in the Canaries. True, sometimes by a certain lack of peninsular to know what is done in the islands and sometimes also by the neglect of certain publishers who make no effort to publicize. This time, returning to Lanzarote, and visit the Library Bridge Reef, I came across this little volume called Unamuno in Gran Canaria, two hand written by Joseph A. Henríquez and Miguel A. Lujan Perdomo Batista. It is a book published in May 2010 in the editorial Anroart. It's a little guide on the journey that Unamuno made the island of Gran Canaria during your visit to the same basically in 1910, but also in its small scale in 1924 way of his exile in Fuerteventura. I have to say I had read a lot about the influence of the Canary Islands in the work of Unamuno. Just take a look at the fantastic book by Sebastian de la Nuez Caballero, great connoisseur in the matter now deceased, Essays and documents in the Canary Islands Unamuno .
This little book only addresses the part that refers to their stay on the island of Gran Canaria. Unamuno's visit in 1910 as a maintainer of the Floral Games and took the visit to the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, to cover part of the interior of the island. The authors intend to follow the path that the Basque writer himself made.
One of the great successes of the book, besides the wonderful vintage photographs, is the idea of \u200b\u200blooking inside and outside look. In the exposed exterior look Unamuno's texts on the island of Gran Canaria, routes and I was seeing. These texts are compared, through the inner eye, other authors canaries, sometimes contemporary, sometimes from different periods. Great contribution and nuance is what we offer these views. The de Unamuno and were collected in other books. Unamuno himself in his For land Portugal and Spain, but I recommend the wonderful book by Francisco Navarro Artiles published by the Cabildo of Fuerteventura, which by now should be untraceable and I do not know if it has been re-edited, entitled Unamuno. Articles and speeches on the Canary Islands.
But this little book, Unamuno in Gran Canaria, has more modest intentions, not intended scholarship, just show a way different to see the island, including its inhabitants, following the footsteps of Unamuno. For those wishing to venture into the different views of Unamuno in each of their rooms already have the book of Navarro Artiles, but no less significant reread De Unamuno in Fuerteventura to Paris , daily fact of his exile poetry ordered the dictator Primo de Rivera in 1924. For instance, a

also appeared a few years ago a test result of a research project that we at Bruno Perez called Unamuno. A cultural interpretation of Canary for those wishing to embark on a more academic. Not in vain up a lot of dust but did not pass this area.
These words are to reread the author Basque recalling its transit through the Canary Islands and make the route Unamuno the island of Gran Canaria.
