1. Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not): Published in 1887, this novel depicts the social injustices and abuses of the Spanish colonial regime in the Philippines. It is considered a seminal work of Philippine literature and a major factor in the rise of Philippine nationalism.
2. El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed): Published in 1891, this novel is a sequel to Noli Me Tangere and continues to expose the oppression and corruption of the Spanish colonial government. It depicts a more radical and revolutionary approach to fighting for freedom.
While these two novels are his most famous works, Rizal also wrote other notable literary works, essays, and poems, including:
* Mi último adiós (My Last Farewell): A poem written shortly before his execution, expressing his love for the Philippines and his hope for its freedom.
* The Reign of the Spanish in the Philippines (Spanish: El gobierno español en Filipinas): A historical study of the Spanish colonial period.
* The Philippines A Century Hence (Spanish: Filipinas Dentro de Cien Años): A social and political treatise.
So, while there are not "5 books" specifically, these are some of Dr. Jose Rizal's most important works.
