José Rizal’s best-known works are the novels Noli me tangere (1886; Eng. trans. The Social Cancer) and El filibusterismo (1891; Eng. trans. The Reign of Greed), which exposed abuses under Spanish colonial rule. He also produced an influential annotated edition of Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (1609; Eng. trans. History of the Philippine Islands), highlighting the Philippines’ precolonial history.
