Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Lineage, Life And Labors Of Jose Rizal, Philippine Patriot"" by Austin Craig is a comprehensive biography of the national hero of the Philippines, Jose Rizal. The book covers Rizal's family background, childhood, education, travels, and his role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. The author provides a detailed account of Rizal's life, including his literary works, political beliefs, and his martyrdom at the hands of the Spanish authorities. The book also explores the historical context of the Philippines during Rizal's time, including the social, cultural, and political factors that influenced his life and work. With its detailed research and engaging storytelling, ""Lineage, Life And Labors Of Jose Rizal, Philippine Patriot"" offers readers a deeper understanding of the life and legacy of one of the most important figures in Philippine history.Doctor Rizal tells us that it was then that he first began to lose confidence in mankind. A story of a school companion, that when Rizal recalled this incident the red came into his eyes, probably has about the same foundation as the frequent stories of his weeping with emotion upon other people's shoulders when advised of momentous changes in his life. Doctor Rizal did not have these Spanish ways, and the narrators are merely speaking of what other Spaniards would have done, for self-restraint and freedom from exhibitions of emotion were among his most prominent characteristics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
