About this Item
First English-language edition. xii, [2], 367 pp. Bound in publisher's tan cloth with dark brown stamping. Near Fine with light dust-soiling and mustiness, former owner's bookplate on front paste down, author obit tipped into rear paste down. In Very Good dust jacket with chipping along edges, small interior chip to front panel, two tiny stains on spine panel, toned and brittle with age, but a remarkable survival. A cornerstone of Filipino literature, truly scarce in this edition and more so in a dust jacket. The author's second novel, titled El Filibusterismo in the original Spanish. It was first published in Ghent, Belgium in 1891. It is required reading for high school students in the Philippines in English, Tagalog, and various regional languages (and yet not Spanish), as it inspired the Philippine Revolution against the Spanish and then the Americans. Rizal is considered a national hero in the way that George Washington is to Americans, but crossed with Dostoyevsky (as he is for many Russians), a chronicler of the national soul.
