Jos Rizal has a good claim to being the first Asian nationalist. An extremely talented Malay born a hundred years ago in a small town near Manila, educated partly in the Philippines and partly in Europe, Rizal inspired the Filipinos by his writing and example to make the first nationalist revolution in Asia in 1896. Today the Philippines revere Rizal as their national hero, and they regard his two books, The Lost Eden (Noli Me Tangere) and The Subversive (El Filibusterismo) as the gospel of their nationalism.

The Subversive, first published in 1891, is strikingly timely today. New nations emerging in Africa and Asia are once again in conflict with their former colonial masters, as were the Filipinos with their Spanish rulers in Rizal's day. The Subversive poses questions about colonialism which are still being asked today: does a "civilizing mission" justify subjection of a people? Should a colony aim at assimilation or independence? If independence, should it be by peaceful evolution or force of arms?

Despite the seriousness of its theme, however, The Subversive is more than a political novel. It is a romantic, witty, satirical portrait of Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines at the end of the nineteenth century, written in the tradition of the great adventure romances. The translation by Leon Ma. Guerrero, Philippine ambassador to the Court of St. James, conveys the immediacy of the original, and makes this important work available to a new generation of readers. His translation of The Lost Eden is also available in the Norton Library.

Helps brush my cat's teeth well!
These toothbrushes are perfect for maintaining my cat's oral hygiene! The micro head and mini size make it incredibly easy to reach and clean my cat's back teeth. The toothbrush is sturdy yet gentle, with extra soft bristles that provide a deep clean without causing discomfort. I mainly use the yellow brush for cleaning my cat's back teeth. The angling of it makes reaching the back teeth very easy. I also like how these bristles are sturdy and not too flexible, so it allows me to apply a bit of pressure to scrub off the plaque. Overall, it's an excellent product that makes pet dental care simple and effective.

Exactly as shown
The brushes arrived in a zip bag, unsealed. The two clear brushes come in tubes. The yellow brush was in a sealed plastic bag. The bristles are soft but dense enough that they feel effective and not flimsy. The pricey ($9.99) is okay.

Excellent
Scent: Almond Cocoa Butter
I love this almond soap and lotion set. It smells great and the consistency makes it is easy to pour into individual soap and lotion dispensers when using a funnel. I’ve already purchased another set.
