Excerpt from the introduction: "Few novels, except perhaps the now much disparaged UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, have made a more shattering impact on the society in which they conceived and read than the NOLI ME TANGERE and EL FILIBUSTERISMO of the Filipino national hero, Jose Rizal. And surely no writer paid a higher penalty for self-expression; Rizal was executed by a firing squad mainly because of these two nooks, now revered by his country as the gospels of its nationalism and lately made by law required reading in its colleges." -L.
