summary of the novel anino ng kahapon by francisco laksamana?

Answer 1

I have not read it but got interested and gathered a few things about this Filipino writer:

Laksamana’s (1877-1966) first and only novel on the Filipino society during the last decade of the nineteenth century. "This novel will help those who did not live to the days mentioned, will help give a nostalgic recollection of the period of mournful Filipinoness," according to the author. He particularly offered this novel to the youth.
It must be about Filipino culture and politics of Filipino identity and tradition. I refers to betel-nut chewing and how it persisted during the Spanish colonial tyranny in the Philippines.

In Anino ng Kahapon (1907), the betel-chew habit is obliquely alluded to in the main action opens with the discovery of a guardia-civil’s dead body by five ikmo sellers. But aside from this brief tangential encounter the betel disappears from view even as the characters become involved in teir survival and preservation of their ideals under Spanish tyranny.
It must be an interesting text to read. I hope I'll also get opportunity to read it.
