José Rizal's most famous works were his two novels, Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, social commentaries on the Philippines under Spanish colonial rule. These books, inspired by the ideals in Cervantes's Don Quixote, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and The Count of Monte Cristo, angered both the Spaniards and the hispanicized Filipinos due to the blatant and insulting symbolism in the books. Rizal's first critic was Ferdinand Blumentritt, the sympathetic Philippine expert, a researcher and scholar, whose first reaction was of grave misgiving. The longest argument for the truth contained in his novels was with the Austrian, whose mother was the daughter of Andreas Schneider, Imperial Treasurer at Vienna, an orthodox and defender of the Catholic faith. But this did not dissuade him from writing the preface of El Filibusterismo, after he had translated Noli me Tangere into German. As Blumentritt had warned, these led to Rizal's prosecution as the inciter of revolution and eventually, to a military trial and execution. The intended consequence of teaching the natives where they stood brought about an adverse reaction, as the Philippine Revolution of 1896 took off virulently thereafter.

He written and published only 2 books.
1. Noli Me Tangere - "Touch Me Not"
2. El Felibusterismo - "The Felibustero" ===if you have read "THe Count of Monte Cristo"... this is the same plot.....its because the novel by Alexandre Dumas is Rizal's favorite novel....

Noli me Tangere - touch me not
El Filibusterismo - The rebel
I don't know about his other books or writings, I don't think there's still more. These two are the most famous. These books are learned in schools, 3rd and 4th year high school students. Hope this help!
