Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Philippine Romance In the long stream of carromatas, carra telas and modern American equipages, was a victoria drawn by a conspicuous pair of high steppers, and toward its occupants the eyes of social Manila were directed; some curious, some envious, but all interested and perforce admiring. The young woman who leaned back against the cushions of the Victoria was of an unusual type; a subtle blending of the East and the West, with her slender grace, bright hair, and dark eyes; not the great lustrous, languorous orbs of the Oriental, but ever-changing eyes, brimming one minute with mischief, life and eagerness, and the next dreamy and thou ght ful, full of mysterious shadows. She was different from her countrywomen whom she passed on the drive, not alone by reason of her beauty and vivacity, but because of her strangely enthralling and captivating personality - that rare gift of the gods.

Download or read book Publishing Romance Fiction in the Philippines written by Jodi McAlister and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romance publishing landscape in the Philippines is vast and complex, characterised by entangled industrial players, diverse kinds of texts, and siloed audiences. This Element maps the large, multilayered, and highly productive sector of the Filipino publishing industry. It explores the distinct genre histories of romance fiction in this territory and the social, political and technological contexts that have shaped its development. It also examines the close connections between romance publishing and other media sectors alongside unique reception practices. It takes as a central case study the Filipino romance self-publishing collective #RomanceClass, analysing how they navigate this complex local landscape as well as the broader international marketplace. The majority of scholarship on romance fiction exclusively focuses on the Anglo-American industry. By focusing here on the Philippines, the authors hope to disrupt this phenomenon, and to contribute to a more decentred, rhizomatic approach to understanding this genre world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippine Islands: Illustrated Because of the importance of the matter and the fact that invisible influences, political and private, are working in both the lower and upper houses of the United States Con gress in both parties to force these valuable Islands out of the hands of their real owners - the American people - I am reprinting in this smaller form the Philippine section of my larger work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. In that are gathered the results of my observations and investiga tions in Porto Rico, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Philippines, the Panama Canal Zone, and interesting matter relative to our dependencies, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Panama. The gathering of this material involved a special trip of miles to Alaska, visits to Porto Rico, the West Indies and the Panama Canal, and a journey around the world. Altogether, I traveled about miles in securing the photographs and information used in my complete work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. The matter herein contained first appeared in The Saturday Blade, one of our four publications. If widening of human knowledge and a better capacity for the solving of our national problems are in any degree the result of this or my larger book, I shall count myself well paid. It certainly has given me a broader and more certain understanding of the world, and a larger love for my own country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Firars in the Philippines The following pages originally appeared as magazine articles. In both England and America the papers were favorably received; and as the public has not heard the last of the Friars in the Philippines, it seemed worth while to reproduce them in the more permanent form of a small vol ume, making such corrections and additions as might be deemed advisable.

Download or read book Noli Me Ta ngere written by José Rizal and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noli Me Tángere, or the Noli, by Philippine National Hero José Rizal has moved readers and influenced the country since it was first published near the end of the 19th Century. In this edition, the epic story is shared--retaining all of the essential elements and characters from the text of the Spanish original--in a shortened version in modern English with an introduction and notes by Nicholas Tamblyn. It contains a full list and descriptions of the characters, the originals and translations of Rizal's quotation and dedication, as well as a lengthy introduction that explores Rizal's life and the book's place in the Philippines' history. Please note that, in addition to the regular paperback, a Large Print edition of this book is also available on Amazon. Born of a specific and turbulent time, the interweaving events that comprise the Noli's narrative are timeless. In short, it is a love story, and the depiction of a society steeped in corruption and, to a degree, a resignation or, worse, a hypocritical acceptance of this state of affairs. By showing the abuse of power by friars and Spanish officials, in Spain's only colony in Asia towards the end of the 19th Century (the novel was self-published in March 1887 in Berlin, financed by the author's friend Dr. Maximo Viola), as stated in his dedication Rizal intended to "raise a part of the veil that covers the evil," while also acknowledging that, as a child of his country, he saw that "I also suffer from your defects and weaknesses." The title, Latin for "touch me not"--in the Bible, at John 20:17, a resurrected Jesus tells the astounded Mary Magdalene: "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father" (also translated as "don't touch me," in the original Koine Greek it is nearest to "cease holding on to me")--likely refers to and is a telling injunction to anyone, especially those thought holy or incorruptible, who through their deceit or brutality is a cause of suffering in others. A unique and unforgettable classic unlike any other Filipino book, and still at the height of its country's fiction (no other novel can claim its place in Filipino literature), this Noli Me Tángere English version captures the passion of its rare historical fiction and classical romance, and the vital artistic achievement of its author José Rizal, National Hero of the Philippines.

Mother Philippine Duchesne, who first brought, the Society to America, in 1818, thus sowing the seeds of which we are reaping the fruit at Manhattanville, is being honored by the whole Church. On May twelfth, the Feast of Pentecost, she will receive the title of Blessed Philippine Duchesne. We wish that we could join the pilgrimage to Rome which is being made by many of the Superiors of the Order in America; but since that is impossible, we have selected the theme of the harvest for the 1940 Tower as one means of expressing our joy and gratitude.
