El Filibusterismo
Author: José Rizal
Publisher: W. W. Norton
ISBN: 9780393004496
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
José Rizal has a good claim to being the first Asian nationalist. An extremely talented Malay born a hundred years ago in a small town near Manila, educated partly in the Philippines and partly in Europe, Rizal inspired the Filipinos by his writing and example to make the first nationalist revolution in Asia in 1896. Today the Philippines revere Rizal as their national hero, and they regard his two books, The Lost Eden (Noli Me Tangere) and The Subversive (El Filibusterismo) as the gospel of their nationalism.The Subversive, first published in 1891, is strikingly timely today. New nations emerging in Africa and Asia are once again in conflict with their former colonial masters, as were the Filipinos with their Spanish rulers in Rizal's day. The Subversive poses questions about colonialism which are still being asked today: does a "civilizing mission" justify subjection of a people? Should a colony aim at assimilation or independence? If independence, should it be by peaceful evolution or force of arms?Despite the seriousness of its theme, however, The Subversive is more than a political novel. It is a romantic, witty, satirical portrait of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines at the end of the nineteenth century, written in the tradition of the great adventure romances. The translation by Leon Ma. Guerrero, Philippine ambassador to the Court of St. James, conveys the immediacy of the original, and makes this important work available to a new generation of readers. His translation of The Lost Eden is also available in the Norton Library.

Book Description
El Filibusterismo, the second of José Rizal’s novels of Philippine life, is a story of the last days of the Spanish régime in the Philippines. Under the name of The Reign of Greed it is for the first time translated into English. Written some four or five years after Noli Me Tangere, the book represents Rizal’s more mature judgment on political and social conditions in the islands, and in its graver and less hopeful tone reflects the disappointments and discouragements which he had encountered in his efforts to lead the way to reform. Rizal’s dedication to the first edition is of special interest, as the writing of it was one of the grounds of accusation against him when he was condemned to death in 1896. It reads:

Book Description
About The Reign Of Greed The Reign of Greed, an English translation of El Filibusterismo, is the sequel to Noli Me Tángere, written by Philippine national hero José Rizal. Focusing on the Noli-El fili duology's main character Crisóstomo Ibarra, now returning for vengeance as "Simoun", the novel's dark theme departs dramatically from the previous novel's hopeful and romantic atmosphere. These novels, along with Rizal's involvement in campaigns to address and reform the Spanish system, led to Rizal's exile to Dapitan and eventual execution. Both this novel and its predecessor, along with Rizal's last poem, are now considered Rizal's literary masterpieces. The text of this book is a translation from the original Spanish into English by Charles Derbyshire.
