À propos de ce contenu audio
Noli Me Tangere, which translates from Latin to Touch Me Not, is a powerful novel penned by the Philippine National Hero, Dr. José Rizal. Originally written in Spanish and first published in Germany in 1887, this groundbreaking work laid bare the rampant corruption and abuse perpetrated by the Spanish government and clergy against the Filipino people, revealing the deep-seated issues plaguing Philippine society. Both Noli Me Tangere and its sequel, El Filibusterismo, faced bans in various regions of the Islands. Rizals writings ultimately led to his arrest for inciting rebellion and his tragic execution in Manila. The impact of Noli Me Tangere and the martyrdom of Rizal played a significant role in sparking the Philippine revolution against Spanish rule. Today, this seminal work is a staple in the curriculum of all Philippine schools. (Summary by JoeD) The sequel, El Filibusterismo, is also available as a LibriVox recording.Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction Art
