The document provides context and a summary of José Rizal's 1887 novel Noli Me Tangere, considered one of the most important works in Philippine literature as it critiques colonial rule and clerical abuse in 19th century Philippines. The plot follows Crisostomo Ibarra, who returns home after studies in Europe to face opposition to his reforms from the Catholic friars and Spanish civil administration. Key characters represent ideals of the time such as Ibarra embodying educated youth and Maria Clara representing pious native women.
Rizal conducted extensive research at the British Museum in London and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, enriching his knowledge of history. He read historical documents in their original languages including Italian and Spanish. In Paris, he planned to establish a modern college in Hong Kong and an association of Filipinologists, though both efforts failed. He also wrote articles criticizing Spanish colonization in the Philippines and the concept of Filipino indolence. While in Brussels, he focused on writing his second novel El Filibusterismo and continued contributing articles under a pen name.

Rizal moved from Brussels to the cheaper city of Ghent to print his second novel El Filibusterismo. Living frugally, he struggled to pay the printing costs as his funds ran low. The printing was suspended until a friend provided additional money. The novel was finally published on September 18, 1891 and praised by Filipino patriots for its powerful style, though almost all copies were later confiscated by the Spanish. The novel continues the story of the characters from Noli Me Tangere and depicts the growing disillusionment with Spanish rule in the Philippines.
Rizal returned to the Philippines in 1887 after 5 years in Europe against warnings from friends and family. He established a medical practice in Calamba and treated patients, including his mother. However, he faced growing opposition from the Catholic church and Spanish authorities due to his novel Noli Me Tangere. In 1888, Rizal was forced to leave the Philippines again due to threats and traveled to Hong Kong, Macao, and eventually Japan to escape his enemies and continue advocating for reforms from abroad.
Rizal returned to the Philippines in June 1892 after his project to establish a Filipino colony in North Borneo was rejected by Governor Despujol. Upon his return, he visited various friends and contacts in Bulacan, Pampanga, and Tarlac to discuss plans for organizing the La Liga Filipina, a civic organization aimed at promoting reforms. On July 3, 1892, Rizal officially founded La Liga Filipina in Manila.

tragedies and troubles of his past.
