Noli Me Tangere (o Huwag Mo Akong Salingin!)

by José Rizal

"Noli Me Tangere" ay Latin para sa "Huwag Mo Akong Salingin," at nililinaw ng nobela ang mga isyu sa lipunan, pulitika, at relihiyon ng lipunang Pilipino noong panahon ng Kastilang kolonyalismo. Isang pangyayari sa simula ng kuwento ang nagpapakilala sa atin sa mga pangunahing tauhan. Si Ibarra, ang ating pangunahing tauhan, ay umiibig kay Maria Clara. Sa kanyang pagbabalik, natuklasan niya ang mga hindi makatarungan na naranasan ng kanyang ama, si Don Rafael Ibarra, na nagkabanggaan kay Padre Damaso. Ginamit ni Padre Damaso ang kanyang impluwensya upang ligawan ang ina ni Maria Clara. Isa pang kalaban, si Padre Salvi, halos pumatay kay Ibarra, na mamamatay-tao. Napiit ito at tinulungan siyang makatakas ng kanyang kaibigan na si Elias, ngunit bilang isang takas, madilim ang kanyang kinabukasan. "Noli Me Tangere" is Latin for "Touch Me Not", and the novel explores the social, political, and religious issues of Philippine society during the Spanish colonial period. An event at the beginning of the story introduces us to the main characters. Ibarra, our protagonist, is in love with Maria Clara. Upon his return, he discovers the injustices experiences by his father, Don Rafael Ibarra, who had clashed with Padre Damaso. Padre Damaso uses his influence to woo Maria Clara's mother. Another adversary, Padre Salvi, nearly kills Ibarra, who is later imprisoned. His friend, Elias, helps him escape, but as a fugitive, Ibarra's future is bleak. (Summary by Rapunzelina)
