Non-Fiction

A Question of Heroes, a highly influential collection of historical essays written by Philippine National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin. - First published in 1977, the book serves as a critical reexamination of ten key figures in Philippine history and the revolutionary tradition. Rather than presenting these individuals as flawless icons—as they are often portrayed in traditional school textbooks—Joaquin strips away the romantic myths to look at their real human complexities, political blunders, and personal contradictions. The historical figures critiqued in this volume include: • José Rizal • Andrés Bonifacio • Emilio Aguinaldo • Apolinario Mabini • Antonio Luna • Gregorio del Pilar • José Burgos • Marcelo H. del Pilar • Graciano López Jaena • Artemio Ricarte Key Features & Analyses • The Demystification of Heroes: Joaquín portrays historical figures with all their human flaws, insecurities, and political missteps rather than treating them as unblemished icons. • The "Accidental" Nature of Heroism: He frequently highlights how circumstances, chance, or tragic ironies shaped these individuals into national martyrs. • Critical Figures Examined: The book reevaluates prominent personalities of the 19th-century Propaganda Movement and the Philippine Revolution. - Perfect for: Filipiniana book collectors
