Rizal’s Own Story of His Life by Jose Rizal

Description

Rizal sets down his ancestry, his schooling, the books that woke him to the condition of his country, and the first strivings of his literary vocation in prose of classical clarity. The narrative closes at the threshold of the work that made him famous — the novels that turned a national grievance into a literature.

It is a short book but a whole world: the Philippines of the late nineteenth century seen through the eyes of its most gifted son, addressing posterity without rhetoric because rhetoric was unnecessary. No better introduction to Rizal exists.

Why readers still come back to it

• The autobiography of the Philippines’ national hero.
• Written on the eve of Rizal’s execution, in plain and moving prose.
• An essential companion to Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.
