    AN ABRIDGED VERSION

    AN ABRIDGED VERSION

    is a shortened version: it's not


    complete because parts have been cut
    or omitted.
    BENEDICT ANDERSON

    Benedict Anderson, in full Benedict Richard


    O’Gorman Anderson, (born August 26, 1936,
    Kunming, China—died December 12/13,
    2015, Batu, Indonesia), Irish political
    scientist, best known for his influential
    work on the origins of nationalism.
    RIZAL HAD ALWAYS BEEN REGARDED AS A
    NATIONAL HERO, HIS WORKS WORTHY OF
    SCRUTINY AND ANALYSIS. HIS TWO (2) GREATEST
    NOVELS (I.E. HIS CHEFS D'OEUVRE) WERE NOLI
    ME TANGERE AND EL FILIBUSTERISMO --
    INSTRUMENTAL IN AWAKENING THE FILIPINO
    NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM.

    THUS, WHEN NEEDED TO BE TRANSLATED, THE


    KNOWN TRANSLATORS AT THAT TIME, SUCH AS
    LEON MA. GUERRERO, ONLY HAD TO WORK WITH
    WHAT THEY HAD BECAUSE BOTH NOVELS
    BECAME INACCESSIBLE THIS WAS ALSO NOTED
    BY DOREEN FERNANDEZ IN A DIFFERENT
    ARTICLE).
    LEON MA. GUERRERO
    León María Ignacio Agapito Guerrero
    y Francisco, GCrM KGCR (March 24,
    1915 – June 24, 1982), better known
    simply as Leon Ma. Guerrero III, was
    a Filipino diplomat and novelist, and
    was one of the foremost Filipino
    nationalists of his era.
    ON THE EARLY RUN OF THE RIZAL BILL,
    OPPOSITION WAS FIERCE. WITH IT CAME THE
    COMPETITION FOR TRANSLATING THE NOVELS,
    WHERE GUERRERO ENTERS THE SCENE. LEON
    MA. GUERRERO WAS THEN AN AMBASSADOR TO
    THE COURT OF ST. JAMES, WHOSE
    TRANSLATIONS WERE PRIZED AMONG MANY.

    BY ANALYZING GUERRERO'S TRANSLATIONS,


    WORD-FOR-WORD WITH THE ORIGINAL
    MANUSCRIPTS, IT IS CLEAR THAT IT HAS BEEN
    DISTORTED IN INTERESTING WAYS.
    IN HIS OWN NEW VERSION, HE TRIED TO GIVE
    "THE READER 'THE EASE OF ORIGINAL
    COMPOSITION,' THE NOLI AS RIZAL MIGHT HAVE
    WRITTEN IT IF HE HAD BEEN WRITING IN ENGLISH
    FOR THE PRESENT GENERATION OF FILIPINOS."

    GUERRERO OBSERVED THAT RIZAL'S WRITING


    STYLE MIGHT BE UNAPPEALING TO THE MODERN
    EAR, AS SPANISH IS A LANGUAGE THAT CAN BE
    MORE SENTIMENTAL AND FLORID (I.E.
    COMPLICATED) THAN MODERN ENGLISH.
