For many years, copies of the Fili were smuggled into the Philippines after it was condemned as subversive by the Spanish authorities. A nationalist novel by an author who has been called the first Filipino, its nature as a social document of the late-nineteenth-century Philippines is often emphasized. It was published in Ghent in 1891 and later translated into English, German, French, Japanese, Tagalog, Ilonggo, and other languages. Like its predecessor, the better-known Noli Me Tangere, the Fili was written in Castilian while Rizal was traveling and studying in Europe. El Filibusterismo (The Subversive) is the second novel by Jose Rizal (1861-1896), national hero of the Philippines.
