    EL FILIBUSTERISMO

    It is the second novel written by José


    Rizal as the sequel to Noli Me Tangere.
    Like Noli Me Tangere, it was written in
    Spanish.

    “The reign of Greed” in English.

    It consist of 38 chapters.


    Rizal dedicated El Filibusterismo to the
    three martyred priests of Cavite mutiny.
    The execution of the three priests was
    significant to the title of the novel.
    THE TITLE
    Rizal had to define the word filibustero to
    his German friend Ferdinand Blumentritt,
    who did not understand his use of the
    word in Noli MeTangere. In a letter, Rizal
    explained:
    "The word filibustero is little known in
    the Philippines. The masses do not know
    it yet. I heard it for the first time in 1872
    when the tragic executions took place.”
    “I still remember the panic that this word
    created. Our father forbade us to utter it,
    as well as the words Cavite, Burgos, etc.
    The Manila newspapers and the Spaniards
    apply this word to one whom they want to
    make a revolutionary suspect.”
    The Filipinos belonging to the educated
    class fear the reach of the word. It does
    not have the meaning of freebooters; it
    rather means a dangerous patriot who will
    soon be hanged or well, a presumptuous
    man."
    HISTORY OF NOVEL
    Rizal took 3 years to write his second novel.
    Rizal began writing El Filibusterismo in
    October 1887 while he was in Calamba.
     In London (1888), he revised the plot and
    some chapters. Rizal continued to work on
    his manuscript in Paris.
    He later moved to Brussels where the cost
    of living was cheaper and he would be less
    likely to be distracted by social events so he
    could focus on finishing the book.
    He finally completed the book on March
    29, 1891 in Biarritz.
    September 18, 1891- the novel was
    published in Ghent, partially funded by
    Rizal's friend Valentin Ventura. Rizal
    immediately sent on this date two printed
    copies to Hong Kong- one for Basa and
    other for Sixto Lopez.
    Rizal gratefully donated the original
    mansuscript and an autographed printed
    copy to Valentin Ventura.
    Rizal sent complimentary copies to
    Blumentritt, Mariano Ponce, Graciano
    Lopez Jaena, Antonio Luna, T.H. Pardo de
    Tavera, Juan Luna and other friends.
    The El Nuevo Regimen-liberal Madrid
    newspaper serialized the novel in its
    issues of October 1891.
    Original manuscript of El Filibusterismo
    in Rizal’s own handwriting is now
    preserved in the Filipiniana Division of
    the Bureau of Public libraries in Manila.

    Valentin Ventura for 10,000 pesos.
