Rizal's Own Story of His Life - Mint Editions (In Their Own Words: Biographical and Autobiographical Narratives) Jose Rizal

"I was born on Wednesday, the nineteenth of June, 1861. It was a few days before the full of the moon. I found myself in a village. I had some slight notions of the morning sun and of my parents. That is as much as I can recall of my baby days."

Two decades after his untimely death, Rizal's Story of His Own Life--the autobiography of José Rizal--was published and made available to an English-speaking audience. The story, which Rizal began at just seventeen years old, follows him from birth to the days leading up to his execution and traces the steps of a boy who would become the Philippine's national hero.

Professionally typeset with a beautifully designed cover, this edition of Rizal's Story of His Own Life is a sensational reimagining of South Asian literature for the modern reader.
