12. Introduction
El Filibusterismo is the second of Jose Rizal’s novel of Philippine life, is a story of the last days of the Spanish regime in the Philippines. Under the name of The Reign of Greed it is for the first time translated into English. Written some four or five years after Noli Me Tangere, the book represents Rizal’s more mature judgement or political and social conditions in the islands, and in it’s graver and less hopeful tone refflects the dissapointments and discouragements which he had encountered in his efforts to lead the way to reform. Rizal’s dedication to the first edition is of special interest, as the writing of it was one of the grounds of accusation againts him when he was condemned to death in 1896.
