Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) [Paperback]

The great novel of the Philippines

In more than a century since its appearance, José Rizal'sNoli Me Tangerehas 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.
