About this listen

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.

I will need to listen to this again and take notes this time. The story is rich and intertwined with innuendos. I learned so much about the Philippines in the turn of the century. Jose Rizal is a literary artist that will never be duplicated. I understand now why he is the hero of the Philippines.

Eye opening and thought provoking
