About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Written in 1889, Jose Rizal's "The Philippines a Century Hence" isn't a book, but a series of essays published in the La Solidaridad magazine. In them, Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines, delves into his future vision for his homeland. Far from mere fortune-telling, Rizal uses his sharp analysis of the political and social climate of his time to paint several potential scenarios for the Philippines a century later, in 1989. He explores both optimistic pathways of a flourishing, independent nation and grim alternatives fueled by colonial oppression and societal decay. Through these predictions, Rizal aimed not only to spark reflection on the Philippines' destiny but also to serve as a veiled critique of Spanish rule and a call for reform. While not entirely accurate in its forecasts, "The Philippines a Century Hence" remains a powerful testament to Rizal's patriotism, intellect, and enduring relevance in understanding the Philippines' historical journey and aspirations.
