Noli me tangere: Filippijnsche roman by José Rizal
"Noli me tangere: Filippijnsche roman" by José Rizal is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period and revolves around the lives of several characters, particularly focusing on Juan Crisóstomo Ibarra, who has returned to the Philippines after studying in Europe. The novel tackles themes of colonialism, social injustice, and the cultural tensions between the colonial powers and the
native Filipinos. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to an evening gathering hosted by Don Santiago de los Santos, known as Capitán Tiago, which becomes the talk of the town. The narrative describes the lively atmosphere, filled with various guests, including locals and clergy, who engage in conversations that reflect societal norms and issues of that time. As Ibarra arrives at this gathering, conversations unfold regarding his father, Don Rafael Ibarra, revealing the social dynamics and tensions present in the community. The opening scene sets the stage for exploring the rich tapestry of Filipino life under colonial rule, as well as laying the groundwork for Ibarra's journey and the challenges he faces regarding his father's past and his vision for the future of his country.
