Rizal published El Filibusterismo in Ghent, Belgium in 1891. He moved there from Brussels for cheaper printing costs and to escape attraction in Brussels. While in Ghent, he met two Filipino compatriots who helped him publish the book with a local press. El Filibusterismo is a sequel to Rizal's first novel, Noli Me Tangere, and deals with more political and revolutionary themes in a tragic manner compared to the first book. The original manuscript is now preserved in the Philippines.
