Description
The Classic Collection of José Rizal brings together the two monumental novels that define Rizal’s literary and political legacy: Noli Me Tangere (1887) and The Reign of Greed (1891), presented here in the influential English translations by Charles Derbyshire. These works, foundational to modern Filipino literature, offer a powerful and unflinching portrayal of life under colonial rule and the moral consequences of oppression. In Noli Me Tangere, Rizal introduces Crisóstomo Ibarra, a young reformer returning from Europe with hopes of improving his homeland through education and enlightenment. His idealism collides with a society ruled by corruption, clerical abuse, and entrenched inequality. The novel combines realism, satire, and compassion to expose injustice while affirming human dignity. The Reign of Greed, the darker sequel, follows Ibarra’s transformation into Simoun, a man driven by vengeance and revolutionary ambition. As peaceful reform proves impossible, Rizal confronts the devastating effects of despair, moral compromise, and violent resistance. The novel expands its scope to include students, officials, clergy, and common people, creating a sweeping portrait of a society in crisis. Together, these novels trace a dramatic arc from hope to disillusionment, from reform to rebellion. Rizal raises enduring questions about power, responsibility, and the ethical limits of resistance. This illustrated collection enhances the historical and emotional depth of Rizal’s masterpieces, presenting them as both literary classics and enduring testimonies to the struggle for justice, national identity, and freedom.
