![]() ![]() The lamp, packed with nitroglycerine, and set to go off at a wedding feast reflects the outcome of a commitment to armed struggle. On the cover of the Fili we see the lamp that Simoun is carrying with sinister intent. Ibarra has just committed to the fight for independence and while Elias is not ready to follow him, he saves his life (again) by leading the patrols away from the boat, and escapes wounded by the bullets after the river chase. They reflect pivotal moments in both novels. The covers are striking and fresh a great compliment to the Anvil book designer, JP Meneses, and the illustrator Rafael Banzuela. What can you say about the specific scenes chosen for the covers (For Noli Me Tangere, we see Elias running away, while in El Filibusterismo, we see Simoun carrying the lamp at the wedding)? ![]() ![]() They are very striking and they both pop out from the shelves. ![]()
