Agoncillo was known for his nationalist historiography, which means he presented Philippine history from a distinctly Filipino perspective, highlighting the role of the masses, the heroes, and the movements that shaped the nation's destiny.Īgoncillo's works are widely used as textbooks in many Filipino universities, as they offer a comprehensive and critical overview of Philippine history from pre-colonial times to the present. One of the most influential and respected Filipino historians of the 20th century was Teodoro Agoncillo, who wrote several books on Philippine history, such as The Revolt of the Masses: The Story of Bonifacio and the Katipunan, History of the Filipino People, Malolos: The Crisis of the Republic, and The Fateful Years: Japan's Adventure in the Philippines. Some historians may emphasize the role of foreign powers, while others may focus on the struggles and achievements of the Filipino people. However, not all histories are written from the same point of view. Philippine history is a complex and fascinating subject that spans centuries of colonialism, revolution, war, and nation-building.

By stating the negative – that he’s not a prophet, before anyone has even suggested that he might actually be one – he was already implying the opposite – that he is a prophet, or at least, that the question of his being a prophet would become one of significance. In that early song, never officially released, Dylan sings, “I know I ain’t no prophet / And I ain’t no prophet’s son.” Dylan was lyrically riffing on Amos 7:14, where that Biblical prophet says, “‘I am not a prophet nor am I the son of a prophet.” It was as revealing a gesture of self-awareness as one would find in Dylan’s early work. ![]() In March 1963, Bob Dylan made a demo recording of “Long Time Gone,” one of numerous original songs he wrote for his publishing company, Witmark. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ward brings her world to life in Dark Lover and continues to build it with each subsequent book.

Written under appalling personal circumstances when Dostoevsky was travelling in Europe, The Idiot not only reveals the author's acute artistic sense and penetrating psychological insight, but also affords his most incisive indictment of Russia's struggling to emulate contemporary Europe and sinking under the weight of Western materialism. In Prince Myshkin, Dostoyevsky portrays the purity of a truly beautiful soul and explores the perils that innocence and goodness face in a corrupt world. Myshkin's mission ends in idiocy and darkness, but it is the world that is rotten, not he. The tensions subsequently unleashed by the hero's innocence, truthfulness, and humility betray the inadequacy of his moral idealism and disclose the spiritual emptiness of a society that cannot accommodate him. ![]() Into a compellingly real portrait of nineteenth-century Russian society, Dostoevsky introduces his ideal hero, the saintly Prince Myshkin. ![]() |
