The Reign of Greed is Charles Derbyshire’s 1912 English translation of José Rizal’s novel El Filibusterismo, the sequel to Noli Me Tangere. Set in the late Spanish colonial Philippines, it explores social injustice, corruption, and the difficult search for reform. It is worth listening to for its historical significance and Rizal’s mature reflection on colonial society.
