The stories of F.Sionil Jose are culled from Filipino life and are clear windows to the humanity of a people striving for justice and well being. Some are also charming episodes on growing up and discovery. F.Sionil Jose is best known for his Rosales saga, five novels spanning a hundred years of tumultuous Philippine history, from 1872 when the Spaniards executed three Filipino priests, to 1972 when Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law. His fiction has been translated to date in 24 languages. "Sionil Jose writes English prose with a passion that, at its best moments, transcends the immediate scene, (He) is a masterful short story writer." --Christine Chapman International Herald Tribune
