Friars And Filipinos

Friars and Filipinos is an abridged translation of Dr. Jose Rizal's Tagalog novel, Noli Me Tangere, originally published in 1900. The novel is a scathing critique of the Spanish colonial regime in the Philippines and the abuses committed by the Catholic friars who held significant power and influence over the Filipino people. The book follows the story of Juan Crisostomo Ibarra, a young Filipino who returns to the Philippines after studying in Europe. He discovers the corruption and oppression of the Spanish friars and their allies, and becomes determined to fight for justice and reform. Along the way, he falls in love with Maria Clara, the daughter of a wealthy and influential family, but their relationship is threatened by the forces of colonialism and religious oppression. Through vivid descriptions and powerful storytelling, Rizal exposes the injustices and inequalities of the colonial system, and highlights the resilience and strength of the Filipino people in the face of oppression. Friars and Filipinos provides a valuable insight into the history and culture of the Philippines, and the struggle for independence and self-determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
