I am pleased to announce that I have placed the important remembrance of
Dr. Rizal by Máximo Viola, My Travels with Doctor Rizal. The
website, "Rizal's Life and Writings" (
http://joserizal.info
<
http://joserizal.info/> ) shall house it. However, as the webmaster is
presently out of state and unable to access his account it is first
placed in the Yahoo! Discussion Group, RP-Rizal:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RP-Rizal
<
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/RP-Rizal>
You will always be able to access it there although you will have to
join the group to get it.
In this document, you will find, among other things:
v His recall of the places of Europe visited by the two of them.
v An account of the "temptation" of Rizal by prostitutes of
Barcelona that, according to Viola, Rizal resisted, and the successful
sexual entrapment of Rizal by a beautiful Viennese woman.
v His understanding of the deep friendship that developed between
Rizal and Blumentritt.
v Viola's recollection both of the discipline of Rizal and his
frugal character.
v Viola's solution as to how Rizal became a polyglot with a
speaking knowledge of a large number of languages.
I urge you, the reader, to read this document. As of this time, it is
the only place you can access it on the Internet.
