Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. When Reform Fails, Revolution BurnsThirteen years after his "death," Crisostomo Ibarra returns to the Philippines-but the idealistic reformer is gone. Now disguised as Simoun, a wealthy jeweler and confidant to the Spanish Governor-General, he has abandoned hope for peaceful change. His new mission: ignite a violent revolution by deliberately worsening colonial oppression until the people have no choice but to rise up.Driven by the bitter memory of his destroyed life-his father murdered, his beloved Maria Clara imprisoned in a convent, his dreams of reform crushed by corrupt friars-Simoun manipulates the corrupt from within. He fans the flames of greed, smuggles weapons, and plots a catastrophic attack that will topple the Spanish regime and free his country.But revenge is a dangerous master. As Simoun's terrible plan reaches its climax, the lines between justice and vengeance, liberation and destruction, blur into darkness.Published in 1891 in Ghent, Belgium, this searing sequel to Noli Me Tangere marks Jose Rizal's transformation from hopeful reformer to disillusioned revolutionary. Darker, more violent, and tragically prophetic, The Reign of Greed exposed colonial brutality with such force that it was banned by Spanish authorities-and inspired the revolution that would cost Rizal his life five years later.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Novel That Sparked a RevolutionWhen Crisostomo Ibarra returns to the Philippines after seven years in Europe, he dreams of building a better future for his countrymen through education and reform. But his idealistic vision collides with the brutal reality of Spanish colonial rule-a society poisoned by corrupt friars, unjust laws, and racial oppression.First published in 1887, Jose Rizal's masterpiece exposes the "social cancer" afflicting his homeland with unflinching honesty. Through the intertwined fates of Ibarra, his beloved Maria Clara, the mysterious outlaw Elias, and the tragic mother Sisa, Rizal paints a sweeping portrait of a nation crying out for justice.Banned by colonial authorities and condemned by the Catholic Church, Noli Me Tangere became the catalyst for Philippine independence. Written in exile and published at great personal risk, this searing indictment of tyranny cost Rizal his life-he was executed by firing squad in 1896-but his words ignited the flame of revolution that would eventually free his people.More than a century later, Rizal's passionate call for education, reform, and moral courage remains powerfully relevant. This is the novel that awakened a nation. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
