| Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not)
| | José Rizal
| In more than a century since its appearance, José Rizal's Noli Me Tangere has become widely known as the great novel of the Philippines. A passionate love story set against the ugly political backdrop of repression, torture, and murder, "The Noli," as it is called in the Philippines, was the first major artistic manifestation of Asian resistance to European colonialism, and Rizal became a guiding conscience—and martyr—for the revolution that would subsequently rise up in the Spanish province.
This new translation includes an extensive introduction and notes that draw on a wealth of Rizal scholarship This is the first work of Filipino literature to be published in Penguin Classics
