4.9/5 (12874 ratings)

Description:Epic in Scale, La Oveja de Nathán sweeps across three centuries and three continents, and ends in a Philippines beset by World War I. The bilingual novel traces the dramatic life story of the protagonist Mariano Bontulan, a typesetter in the government printing office, whose patron is Don Benito Claudio de Hernán González, a prominent Spanish mestizo and founder of the Federalista Party, which supported Philippine annexation to the United States. Bontulan's life takes a sudden turn when his rabidly pro-American chief requires him to write increasingly anti-Filipino tracts.Bontulan is haunted by the stinging questions his prophet-like mentor Don Benito asks of him: Who will be the Philippine Nathan who will fling into the face of the modern David the ugliness of his behavior (2 Samuel 11)? In this novel, the Philippines is presented as the sacrificial lamb lovingly cared for by Spain, and coveted by the rich and powerful America. La Oveja de Nathán is the worthy and rightful successor to José Rizal's Noli Me Tangere, a cultural landmark in the long tradition of Filipino literature of protest.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
