75th anniversary of Miguel de Unamuno's death

He was a Spanish writer, philosopher, etc. from the Basque country, specialized in Portuguese culture and also interested in Catalan literature. He had a lot of quarrels with right-wing authority, and he died half a year after General Franco's coup that he originally welcomed. One finds more information in the Wikipedia article in English here, a lot more in the Spanish one here.
