Ramon Monegal crafts a narrative that is as much about the birth of a nation as it is about the disintegration of a soul. The story follows Jacinta, the beautiful and restless daughter of Don Carlos Peralta, a wealthy ilustrado (educated elite). Though her family enjoys privileges under Spanish rule, Jacinta feels trapped by the rigor mortis of courtly customs, arranged marriages, and religious hypocrisy.
Author: Ramon Monegal Genre: Literary Fiction / Philippine Novel in English Era: First published 1957 (Winner of the Philippines' Commonwealth Literary Contest) Overview Jacinta Peralta is a seminal, yet often underexplored, gem of Philippine literature in English. Set against the gilded but morally decaying backdrop of Spanish-era Manila in the 1890s, the novel is a psychological portrait of its title character—a young woman caught between the suffocating traditions of an old colonial elite and the first whispers of revolutionary fervor.
Jacinta Peralta is not a fast-paced revolutionary epic; it is a quiet, devastating hurricane contained within the walls of a single ancestral home. If you find a clean PDF, you have found a treasure. It offers a rare, introspective glimpse into the Filipino psyche at the exact moment it began to dream of breaking its chains. Highly recommended for serious students of Southeast Asian literature.

The Trouble with Tribbles is such a classic episode. It’s on my list of stuff to rewatch when I’m having a bad day and need a pick-me-up. (I get the winter blues, so I really appreciate Tribbles and other fun scifi stuff during the winter in particular. :) )
I think it’s awesome that it’s on your pick-me-up list. :) Sometimes I like to just look at the gif of Kirk after all the tribbles fall on him because it’s one of the few things I can count on to always make me laugh!
Heh, for sure!
