The Reign of Greed
by José Rizal
Translated by Charles E. Derbyshire
"The Reign of Greed" by José Rizal is a novel written in 1891. This sequel follows Crisóstomo Ibarra, who returns to the Philippines after thirteen years, now disguised as the wealthy jeweler Simoun. Abandoning his earlier hopes for peaceful reform, he plots a violent revolution against Spanish colonial rule. As Simoun manipulates powerful figures and stockpiles weapons, he seeks vengeance and liberation for his oppressed countrymen. The novel's dark tone marks a dramatic shift from its predecessor, reflecting the protagonist's transformation from idealistic reformer to revolutionary conspirator.
