Beskrivelse af The Social Cancer
The Social Cancer is a novel written by the Filipino national hero, Jose Rizal. Originally titled Noli Me Tangere, it was published in 1887 and is considered one of the most influential works in Philippine literature.The novel tells the story of a young man named Crisostomo Ibarra who returns to the Philippines after studying abroad in Europe. Upon his return, he discovers the corruption and oppression that exists within the Spanish colonial government and the Catholic Church. He becomes determined to bring about change and reform to his country, but is met with resistance and hostility from those in power.Throughout the novel, Rizal exposes the injustices and abuses that were prevalent during the Spanish colonial period in the Philippines. He criticizes the exploitation of the poor by the wealthy and the clergy, as well as the lack of education and opportunities for the Filipino people.The Social Cancer is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers today. It is a testament to Rizal's commitment to social justice and his belief in the power of literature to effect change.When her husband was sleeping off the wine he had drunk, or was snoring through the siesta, and she could not quarrel with him, Do�����a Consolacion, in a blue flannel camisa, with a big cigar in her mouth, would take her stand at the window. She could not endure the young people, so from there she would scrutinize and mock the passing girls, who, being afraid of her, would hurry by in confusion, holding their breath the while, and not daring to raise their eyes. One great virtue Do�����a Consolation possessed, and this was that she had evidently never looked in a mirror.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
