Siya, kung gayon, ang naging pangunahing kalaban ng unang Pilipino, si Jose Rizal.

Sa temang ito, hinabi ni Leon Ma. Guerrero ang pinakabago at, walang dudang, pinakamahusay na talambuhay ng pambansang bayani ng Pilipinas, si Dr. Jose Rizal, na nagpasigla sa nakatagong diwa ng nasyonalismo ng kanyang mga kababayan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dalawang makabayang nobela at hinubog sila bilang isang nagkakaisa at masiglang bansa.

“Extraordinary popular and influential, widely read and appreciated, Ocampo has done more than any single author in recent years to inspire interest in and enthusiasm for Philippine history among a broad Filipino audience . . . Ocampo frequently calls attention to the political uses to which Philippine History has been subjected, even as he chips away at the fossilizing effects of an official nationalism that has domesticated the memory of its National Heroes.”

Querida, in the Philippines, refers to a mistress. In its original Spanish sense, however, querida/querido means someone beloved or cherished. It is in this light that I share these essays, as appetizers for the definitive book on Rizal’s loves that I will work on in retirement.”

El Filibusterismo takes us to where Noli Me Tangere left off, the continuing struggle of Simoun, the transformed Ibarra. In this new translation, Soledad Lacson-Locsin has restored the original dedication “Al Pueblo Filipino y su Gobierno,” which was not in the printed edition, in order to heighten the change from the softer emotions of the Noli to the anger and passion of the Fili.

The Noli Me Tangere by Jose P. Rizal, national hero of the Philippines, is the novel with the greatest impact on Filipino political thinking in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the widest influence on contemporary fiction, drama, opera, dance, and film. In this new translation, Soledad Lacson-Locsin, a bilingual writer, has restored the unpublished chapter about Elias and Salome, as well as the whole of the “Canto de Maria Clara,” wishing this translation to be faithful rendition of the original.

Rizal had done so many things in Dapitan where he was exiled from 1892 to 1896 – from the uneventful to the exciting, from the mundane to the extraordinary – all deserving to be told. What happened to Rizal in Dapitan? How did his place of exile change him? This book presents an almost month by month account of Rizal’s life in Dapitan. Such a reconstruction makes evident the vacillation in his mental attitude and inclination at various points during his exile. This book brings to light what can aptly be described as Rizal’s lost years in Dapitan.
