Rizal, His Travels

Rizal, His Travels is a concise narrative of Dr. Jose Rizal’s life. Rather than presenting a traditional, comprehensive biography, the book highlights the events and accomplishments Rizal achieved while on the move, whether within the Philippines or abroad. It frames Rizal’s life as both a literal and figurative journey, one that, although short in years, was vast in scope and rich in significance. Through his travels, Rizal contributed greatly to fields such as literature, history, politics, and science, all in pursuit of Filipino independence. The book begins with his first trip to Manila and Antipolo in 1868 and follows his path until his death in 1896, showing how his expanding world shaped his nationalistic mission.
