The document provides details about Jose Rizal's novel "Noli Me Tangere":
- Rizal finished writing the novel in 1887 in Berlin. He was desperate and almost burned the manuscript until his friend Dr. Maximo Viola lent him money to have it published.
- The novel was published in Berlin in March 1887 and contained 63 chapters depicting Philippine society under Spanish colonial rule through the story of Crisostomo Ibarra.
- It portrayed the abuses of power by Spanish Catholic friars and criticized the educational system and treatment of Filipinos. The novel helped inspire nationalism which led to Rizal's execution by the Spanish.
Dr. Jose Rizal was born in 1861 in Calamba, Laguna, Philippines. He was a polymath who studied medicine, poetry, drama, novels, surveying and more. He pursued further studies abroad in Madrid, Paris, and Heidelberg due to being treated as a second-class citizen in his home country under Spanish rule. While abroad, he wrote novels exposing the problems in the Philippines and joined the Propaganda Movement seeking reforms. Despite threats from the Spanish authorities, he continued his writings and travels promoting reforms until he returned to the Philippines in 1892, where he was eventually executed for his writings and role in the growing revolution.

Upon waking 20 years later, Rip discovers that the American Revolution has occurred and his wife has died, leaving him free to live happily with his daughter.
