An exhibit of the literary output of Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal, including his two outstanding world-class novels “Noli me Tangere” and “El Filbusterismo,” was unveiled last month at the National Library building in Madrid, Spain.
The exhibit, Entre España y Filipinas: José Rizal, Escritor (Between Spain and the Philippines: Jose Rizal, Writer), was organized within the framework of the 150th birth anniversary of the hero, who was born on June 19, 1861 in the town of Calamba, Laguna, south of Manila. The works will be viewed until February 12, 2012, according to an announcement from the embassy of Spain in Manila.
The Directorate of Cultural and Scientific Relations of Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and the National Library of Spain spearheaded the event.
Organizers said the exhibit “aims to deepen in his work as a writer of Spanish letters, considering him as a Galdós in the tropics and contextualizing him in the intellectual environment of the enlightened Philippines of the nineteenth century.” (more…)
