Thirteen years after the events of Noli Me Tangere, a rich and secretive jeweller called Simoun travels up the Pasig on the steamer Tabò and makes himself indispensable to the men who rule the colony. While students campaign for an academy of Castilian and a farmer loses his land to the friars, Simoun pursues a hidden purpose of his own. Rizal's darker sequel, in the Tagalog translation of Patricio Mariano. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
