The Philippines a Century Hence

José Rizal

Summary

'The Philippines a Century Hence' is a socio-political essay written in four parts in the magazine 'La solidaridad' by José Rizal. It is one of the most significant political works of the movement in Spain, with Rizal tracing the circumstances that brought about the awakening of the Filipino and consequently the birth of the Filipino spirit of a nation. He underscores the need to establish a new kind of political relationship between Spain and the Philippines if the former does not wish a total break-up with the latter. Spain is being given a sort of ultimatum: reform or independence. The article ends with a prediction on the possible political intervention of European or neighboring powers or even that of the United States should the Philippines declare itself independent from Spain. He dismisses that possibility, given the existence of other more enticing economic prospects. Rizal also predicted that the country will adopt a federal republic government once it is liberated. He also warned that bloody uprisings may happen if the country doesn't undergo drastic changes.

The Case of Emily V

Keith Oatley

"Part diary, part scientific journal, part detective story, part love story: The Case of Emily V is thoroughly post-modern in its deliberate blurring of the distinction between fact and fiction, its cavalier blending of literary genres. But Oatley's first novel … also resembles old 19th-century literature. His characters are dynamic, his storylines complex and suspenseful, his soial commentary broad and integral to the plot." - Marie Campbell, Quill& Quire Quotables
