xxxii, 428 pages: 22 cm. A classic biography of the Philippines` National Hero, this book revises the previous edition written for the Jose Rizal Centennial with fresh insights, new data, and new appendices. One of the best-selling books on Rizal, this volume contains new information about the condition in Rizal`s times, the attempt on his life in Dapitan, his prophetic views about the Philippines, and other data. In particular, it corrects the impression that Rizal had been a "colonial-made hero" and affirms that he was a hero for all seasons and for all people--Filipinos, Spaniards, Americans, Germans, Austrians, Malays, Indonesians, etc. His famous diary essays, letters, and incomplete works are also discussed within. Includes bibliographic references and index. Gregorio F. Zaide [and] Sonia M. Zaide. in English Heroes Philippines Biography 929.9092 Z13j 2014 9789712733239 251212 20260803094211.0
