Publisher's Summary

Few novels have made a more shattering impact on their society than El Filibusterismo - and its predecessor, Noli Me Tangere, by Jose Rizal. And surely no writer has paid a higher penalty for self-expression. Rizal was executed by firing squad mainly because of these two books.

Filipinos, inspired by Rizal, made the first nationalist revolution in Asia in 1896, established its first democratic republic which survived until 1901, and in 1946, exactly half a century after Rizal's execution, became the first Asians to win independence from Western colonialism. It is not mere patriotic pride that leads Filipinos to acclaim the author of the Noli and El Fili as the first Asian nationalist, and as one who in his way moved the world.

Profile Image for Riofranco

I can see why the author was executed.

Much like the prequel, the story portrays the dynamics, the flaws, and the honours of the era. Much of which can still be observed of people in the 21st century and western governments post cancel culture and social media age. Both books are cautionary tales. Enough to get the author killed
