El Filibusterismo
Sequel to Noli Me Tángere
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Read Rizal's El Filibusterismo in Spanish and Tagalog. Listen with Read Aloud, share passages as quote cards, and pick up right where you left off.
El Filibusterismo (1891) is José Rizal's sequel to Noli Me Tángere — a sharper, more radical novel written in exile in Ghent. Crisóstomo Ibarra returns to the Philippines as the vengeful jeweler Simoun, moving in the highest circles of colonial society while quietly plotting revolution.
This app brings Rizal's second novel to your iPhone and iPad in both its original Spanish and a classic Tagalog translation, with a reading experience built to honour the weight of the text — not a document viewer, but something that feels like holding the book itself.
