Noli Me Tangere by José Rizal

"Noli Me Tangere" by José Rizal is a novel published in 1887 during the Spanish colonial period of the Philippines. The story follows Crisóstomo Ibarra, a young man returning home after seven years studying in Europe, only to discover his father's mysterious death and desecrated grave. As he attempts to build a school and improve his town, he faces hostility from Spanish friars and uncovers dangerous conspiracies. Through Ibarra's struggles, Rizal exposes the inequities and injustices of colonial rule and Catholic Church power in Philippine society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
