Summary
Returning to Manila after seven years in Europe, Crisostomo Ibarra finds his father dead and the colony ruled by friars. Jose Rizal's 1887 novel, in this early English version, helped start the Philippine revolution. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
