I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY

Rizal dedicated El Filibusterismo to the


three martyred priests of Cavite mutiny. The
execution of the three priests was significant
to the title of the novel.
I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY
Rizal had to define the word filibustero to his
German friend Ferdinand Blumentritt, who did not
understand his use of the word in Noli Me Tangere.
In a letter, Rizal explained: "The word
filibustero is little known in the Philippines. The
masses do not know it yet. I heard it for the first time
in 1872 when the tragic executions took place.”
I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY
“I still remember the panic that this word
created. Our father forbade us to utter it, as well as
the words Cavite, Burgos, etc. The Manila
newspapers and the Spaniards apply this word to one
whom they want to make a revolutionary suspect.”
“The Filipinos belonging to the educated class
fear the reach of the word. It does not have the
meaning of freebooters; it rather means a dangerous
patriot who will soon be hanged or well, a
presumptuous man."
I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY
Rizal took 3 years to write his second novel.
Rizal began writing El Filibusterismo in October 1887 while he was in
Calamba.
In London (1888), he revised the plot and
some chapters. Rizal continued to work on his
manuscript in Paris.
He later moved to Brussels where the cost of
living was cheaper and he would be less likely
to be distracted by social events so he could
focus on finishing the book.
I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY
He finally completed the book on March 29, 1891 in Biarritz.
September 18, 1891- the novel was published in Ghent, Belgium, partially
funded by Rizal's friend Valentin Ventura.
Rizal immediately sent on this date two
printed copies to Hong Kong- one for Basa
and other for Sixto Lopez.
Rizal gratefully donated the original
mansuscript and an autographed printed copy
to Valentin Ventura.
I. THE NOVEL AND ITS HISTORY
Rizal sent complimentary copies to his friends.
The El Nuevo Regimen-liberal Madrid newspaper serialized the novel in
its issues of October 1891.
The original manuscript in Rizal’s own
handwriting is now preserved in the Filipiniana
Division of the Bureau of Public libraries in
Manila.
Acquired by Philippine government from
Valentin Ventura for 10,000 pesos.
Consists of 279 pages of long sheets paper
