From the renowned Filipino reformist and national hero Dr. Jose Rizal comes a classic piece of literature portraying the grim reality of the backward state of the Philippines during the Spanish era. After the events of the first novel "Noli Me Tangere", El Filibusterismo follows the story of Simoun, a mysterious jeweller from America on a business venture in the Philippines. Widely known by the name "Black Cardinal", he earned his infamous reputation as a trader for his dark but unusually persuasive countenance, crooked morals, and unorthodox methods in doing business. To the regular folk, he is just another entrepreneur with a twisted sense of morality, but unknown to everybody, he is much more than just a mere opportunist he seemed to be. For beneath his dark glasses and silvery white hair, there lies beyond them a much deeper and darker persona...waiting for the right time to strike!
