Este estudio examina el renaciente quijotismo de Unamuno durante la etapa de su exilio en 1924. Partimos del hecho de que el libro de Cervantes y el quijotismo como símbolo fueron muy importantes en toda la vida y obra de Unamuno. Sin embargo, es durante su estancia en la isla canaria que el autor vasco logra una identificación plena con el hidalgo manchego, actitud que se evidencia en su lucha contra la injusticia y en su patriotismo, pero que prevalece también en los textos posteriores al exilio. Para ello, se analiza un triple aspecto: la concepción que Unamuno tiene del quijotismo antes, durante y después de su viaje a Fuerteventura. De esta manera, podremos ver el alcance que tuvo dicho renacer en su vida intelectual, política y espiritual y, por lo tanto, seremos capaces de poner en valor su destierro.
This present work studies the revival of Unamuno’s quixotism during his exile in 1924. We start from the fact that Cervantes’s book and quixotism as a symbol were very important all along Unamuno’s life and work. However, it is during his stay in the Canary Island that the basque author feels deeply identified with the Manchegan knight; this attitude reflects in his fight against injustice and in his patriotism, but it remains also in his later texts after the stage of exile. In order to that, we analyze three main points: Unamuno’s concept of quixotism before, during and after his trip to Fuerteventura. As a result, we can see the importance that this resurgent quixotism had in his intellectual, political and spiritual life and, therefore, we will be able to judge his exile in a positive way
