Jose Rizal is one of our most Treasured Authors in the Philippines who wrote in Spanish and I would gladly like to contribute to a scan for StandardEbooks! The Social Cancer and The Reign of Greed translations by Charles Derbyshire seem to be in the public domain since the copyright must've expired since it's been many years after 1912.
(And there's that surprisingly good translation that Google Translate I did from Both Transcripts of Original Spanish, but I'm pretty sure it's too unofficial to accept a robot translation
Definitely not going to use these but they're legal and they're here, the actual translations below made by a real person are better though:
Noli:



Noli Me Tangere or The Social Cancer (I'd prefer the original title but here goes for it):



Possible art could be the Noli Me Tangere Titian Painting:

or for something more thematic this could represent the Spanish conquistador bourgeoise:

El Filibusterismo or The Reign of Greed:

A possible art Cover could be this expressionist sketch which sets the tone:

or this Spanish Dance painting could do fine as well:

Hi Jarx, those are both already on our wanted list as moderate
difficulty productions. We ask that you work on something simpler, like
in the first productions section of the wanted list, for your first
ebook. Once you have one or two productions under your belt, you can
move on to the moderate difficulty ones. Let us know if you'd like to
work on something else first!
