Niebla (Mist or Fog) is a novel by Miguel De Unamuno, written in 1907 and published in 1914. The author coined a new word to designate its genre. A regular Spanish equivalent for the word "novel" is "novela". However Unamuno said that the book was actually a distorted version of this, nivola. One can translate it into English distorting the word "novel" as he pleases.Its main character, Augusto Pérez, is a rich but reclusive young man who keeps a dog Orfeo. He spends his days wandering the streets of his city. Once he notices a beautiful girl, Eugenia, who turns out to be a piano teacher, and immediately falls in love with her. He starts to court the beauty but to no avail even though her uncle and aunt take a liking to him. Eugenia actually prefers Mauricio although he is much less refined, pretty poor and somewhat brutish. Augusto once clandestinely pays the duties of the girl but further enrages her as she is certain that he is trying to buy her.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })At this point Augusto meets Rosario, a simple girl who seems to be sincerely and unconditionally fond of him. He is for some time weighing whether to give in to her and have no troubles. However later he opts for a more charismatic and headstrong female and proposes to Eugenia. She suddenly accepts and then Rosario disappears for good. Shortly before the marriage Eugenia runs away with Mauricio leaving Augusto a note in which she says that she and Augusto are no match and recommends him to resume his relationship with Rosario.And then the main twist of meta-character follows... Augusto wants to commit suicide but needs the second opinion. Enter Miguel de Unamuno in person to whom Augusto writes a letter seeking advice on the matter. Unamuno bluntly responds that he is an author of the nivola where Augusto is a mere character so all his troubles are of Unamuno's doing. At first the author rejects his creature's desire to off himself. Later the two, Augusto and hic creator, meet in person. The writer is annoyed during this encounter as Augusto says that he felt like killing someone, and not Eugenia or Mauricio. The character wanted to murder Unamuno himself. The author then says that Augusto will die - at the point when the protagonist already wants to live. Augusto comes home and indeed dies condemned by the writer.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the epilogue Orfeo pronounces a heart-shattering speech about his dead master and dies too at his feet. | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Niebla / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: Appears to be the case at some point. But this trope is probably subverted when Eugenia runs away with Mauricio from the looimg marriage to Augusto. However given how headstrong is Eugenia and how sleazy is Mauricio the things might end very bitter for both of them. | |

Author Powers | |
| Niebla / int_7fb533de | comment |
Author Powers: This trope is set in action only in the last chapters. Turns out that Miguel de Unamuno actually exists in the universe of the "nivola". And the author can do whatever he wants, he can also cause death to Augusto at any time. In the end the protagonist indeed expires - at the whim of his creator. However this power has one limitation. An author canot resuscitate a dead character. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Niebla / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: That's why Eugenia prefers a poor no-gooder Mauricio to a rich intellectual Augusto. Moreover Mauricio lives off various women. He even encourages Eugenia to carry it on with Augusto to squeeze some money out of him. | |
