Summary, Etc.
  • Summary, etc. - "Epic in scale, La Oveja de Nathan sweeps across three centuries and three continents, and ends in a Philippines beset by World War I. The bilingual novel traces the dramatic life story of the protagonist Mariano Bontulan, a typesetter in the government printing office, whose patron is Don Benito Claudio de Herman Gonzalez, a prominent Spanish mestizo and founder of the Federalista Party, that supported Philippine annexation to the United States. Bontulan's life takes a sudden turn when his rabidly pro-American chief requires him to write increasingly anti-Filipino tracts."
