Rizal. It is written for Filipinos. All the translations in the text of Rizal's novels, essays and letters, and of other documents in Spanish are from the author. According to the author some aspects of this biography will proved to be controversial; It is not a hagiography but the story of a human being, being human, was afflicted with the "heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to. Rizal was not perfect, he was not always right, but those who will read this story of his life will perceive that his humanity is precisely the secret of his greatness." -- L. Ma. G. [The author] ER -
