José Rizal

Noli Me Tangere (Latin for Touch Me Not) is a novel by the National Hero of the Philippines, Dr. José Rizal. It was originally written in Spanish, and first published in Germany in 1887. Noli Me Tangere exposed the corruption and abuse of the Spanish government and clergy towards the Philippine people and the ills of the Philippine society. This novel, and its sequel El Filibusterismo were banned in many parts of the Islands. Rizal was later arrested for inciting rebellion, based largely on his writings, and was executed in Manila. Noli Me Tangere, and the execution of Rizal, indirectly influenced the Philippine revolution from Spain. Today, Noli Me Tangere is required reading in all Philippine Schools. (Summary by JoeD)

The Type-Writer Girl

Grant Allen

(under the pseudonym Olive Pratt Rayner)  
"There is no more pathetic figure in our world to-day than the common figure of the poor young lady, crushed between classes above and below, and left with scarce a chance of earning her bread with decency." So says Juliet Appleton’s boss, encouraging her to put her story into print. How will this college-educated 23-year-old survive the Darwinian Battle of Life in late Victorian England? She’s fundless in London but armed, by way of adaptive structures, with those two high-tech devices of the day: a bicycle for mobility and a typewriter for utility. (Summary by Grant Hurlock)

Quincas Borba

Machado de Assis

Quincas Borba is a brilliant and darkly ironic novel by Machado de Assis, one of Brazil's most celebrated literary masters. Blending sharp social satire with profound psychological insight, this unforgettable story explores ambition, illusion, greed, and the fragile boundaries between sanity and madness.

At the heart of the novel is Rubião, a modest schoolteacher whose life takes an unexpected turn when he inherits a vast fortune from his eccentric philosopher friend, Quincas Borba—along with the responsibility of caring for Borba's beloved dog, also named Quincas Borba. Alongside the inheritance comes a strange philosophical doctrine known as "Humanitism," a parody of scientific and philosophical theories that claims to explain the nature of existence through an absurd yet strangely compelling logic.

Suddenly wealthy and thrust into the sophisticated society of Rio de Janeiro, Rubião becomes an easy target for opportunists. He falls under the influence of a charming but manipulative couple who skillfully exploit his generosity and naivety. As Rubião attempts to navigate high society, romance, and the meaning of his friend's peculiar philosophy, his grip on reality gradually begins to slip.

Through subtle humor and biting irony, Machado de Assis dissects the vanity and hypocrisy of social ambition. The novel examines how wealth can distort relationships, how power invites exploitation, and how easily idealism can be manipulated. Beneath the wit and elegance lies a tragic meditation on loneliness and the vulnerability of the human mind.

Quincas Borba stands as both a continuation of themes introduced in Machado's earlier works and a powerful narrative in its own right. With its unforgettable characters, satirical brilliance, and psychological depth, the novel offers readers a timeless reflection on human nature and the illusions that shape our lives.
