About this document
El Filibusterismo: Publication in Ghent by Maybelyn Medrano is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Rizal wrote El Filibusterismo over several years, finishing it in 1891. Due to its lower costs, he chose to publish it in Ghent, Belgium rather than Spain. Short on funds, the printing was suspended until a friend provided money to continue. When published in September 1891, it received praise from critics for its portrayal of life under oppressive Spanish rule in the Philippines. Rizal also worked on several other unfinished novels in Spanish and Tagalog that depicted various aspects of Philippine society
