    Rizal wrote Noli Me Tangere to depict the suffering of the Filipino people under Spanish rule. It took him several years to write while living in different countries in Europe. The novel was finally published in 1887 in Berlin.

    Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin inspired Rizal to write a novel depicting the miseries of the Filipino people under Spanish tyranny.

    Rizal began writing Noli Me Tangere in 1884 in Madrid and continued writing it in Paris and Germany between 1884-1886. He finished the final revisions in Berlin in 1886.

    CHAPTER 8:

    NOLI ME TANGERE
    (1887)

    The bleak winter of 1886 in Berlin was Rizals


    darkest winter because no money arrived from
    Calamba and he was flat broke. The diamond
    ring which his sister, Saturnina, gave him was
    in the pawnshop. It was memorable in the life
    of Rizal for two reasons (1) it was a painful
    episode for he was hungry, sick and
    despondent in a strange city (2) it brought him
    great joy after enduring so much sufferings,
    because his first novel, Noli Me Tangere came
    off the press in March, 1887

    Harriet Beecher Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin-


    inspired Dr. Rizal to prepare a novel that would
    depict the miseries of his people under the lash
    of Spanish tyrants
    January 2, 1884- in a reunion of Filipinos in the
    Paterno residence in Madrid, Rizal proposed
    the writings of a novel about the Philippines by
    a group of Filipinos
    Toward the end of 1884, Rizal began writing
    the novel in Madrid and finished about one-half
    of it

    When Rizal went to Paris, in 1885, after


    completing his studies in the Central University
    of Madrid, he continued writing the novel,
    finishing one half of the second half
    Rizal finished the last fourth of the novel in
    Germany. He wrote the last few chapters of the
    Noli in Wilhelmsfeld in April-June, 1886
    In Berlin during the winter days of February,
    1886, Rizal made the final revisions on the
    manuscript of the Noli
    Maximo Viola- Rizals friend from Bulacan,
    arrived in Berlin at the height of Rizal

    despondency and loaned him the needed


    funds to publish the novel; savior of Noli
    After the Christmas season , Rizal put the
    finishing touches on his novel. To save printing
    expenses, he deleted certain passages in his
    manuscript, including a whole chapterElias
    and Salome
    February 21, 1887- the Noli was finally finished
    and ready for printing
    Berliner Buchdruckrei-Action-Gesselschaft- a
    printing shop which charged the lowest rate,
    that is, 300 pesos for 2,000 copies of the novel

    March 21, 1887- the Noli Me Tangere came off


    the press
    March 29, 1887- Rizal, in token of his
    appreciation and gratitude, gave Viola the
    galley proofs of the Noli carefully rolled around
    the pen that he used in writing it and a
    complimentary copy, with the following
    inscription: To my dear friend, Maximo Viola,
    the first to read and appreciate my workJose
    Rizal
    The title Noli Me Tangere is a Latin phrase
    which means Touch Me Not. It is not

    originally conceived by Rizal, for he admitted


    taking it from the Bible
    Rizal, writing to Felix Hidalgo in French on
    March 5, 1887, said: Noli Me Tangere, words
    taken from the Gospel of St. Luke, signify do
    not touch me but Rizal made a mistake, it
    should be the Gospel of St. John (Chapter 20
    Verses 13 to 17)
    Rizal dedicated his Noli Me Tangere to the
    PhilippinesTo My Fatherland
    The cover of Noli Me Tangere was designed
    by Rizal. It is a ketch of explicit symbols. A

    womans head atop a Maria Clara bodice


    represents the nation and the women, victims
    of the social cancer. One of the causes of the
    cancer is symbolized in the friars feet,
    outsized in relation to the womans head. The
    other aggravating causes of oppression and
    discrimination are shown in the guards helmet
    and the iron chains, the teachers whip and the
    alferezs scourge. A slight cluster of bamboo
    stands at the backdrop; these are the people,
    forever in the background of their own
    countrys history. There are a cross, a maze,

    flowers and thorny plants, a flame; these are


    indicative of the religious policy, the
    misdirected ardor, the people strangled as a
    result of these all
    The novel Noli Me Tangere contains 63
    chapters and an epilogue
    Dr. Antonio Ma. Regidor- Filipino patriot and
    lawyer who had been exiled due to his
    complicity in the Cavite Mutiny of 1872, read
    avidly the Noli and was very much impressed
    by its author
