Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed)

by José Rizal

El Filibusterismo, a sequel to Noli Me Tangere, plunges readers into the tumultuous Philippines under Spanish rule. The novel paints a stark picture of societal ills, with the influence of corrupt friars and the oppressive power of the colonial regime. It follows the intertwined destinies of Basilio, a medical student struggling for a better future, and Simoun, a wealthy and enigmatic figure seeking to ignite rebellion through calculated acts of revenge. The narrative explores themes of love, betrayal, national identity, and the yearning for liberation from colonial oppression, making it a powerful and complex exploration of a nation's struggle for self-determination.
