RIZAL’S SECOND SOJOURN IN PARIS AND THE UNIVERSAL EXPOSITION IN 1889
In March, 1889, it was extremely difficult for a visitor to find living quarters in Paris. For a
short time, Rizal live in Valentin Ventura’s house at No. 45 Rue Maubeuge, where he polished his
annotated edition of Morga’s book. Rizal used most of his time in the reading room of the
Bibliotheque Nationale (National Library) checking up his historical annotations on Morga’s book.
Rizal was a good friend of the three Pardo de Taveras—Dr. Trinidad H. Pardo de Tavera, a
physician by vocation and philologist by avocation, Dr. Felix Pardo de Tavera, also physician by
vocation and an artist and sculptor by avocation, and Paz Pardo de Tavera, wife of Juan Luna. May
6, 1889 is the opening of Universal Exposition of Paris, the greatest attraction of this exposition

was the Eiffel Tower, 984 feet high, which was built by Alexander Eiffel, celebrated French
engineer.
KIDLAT CLUB & INDIOS BRAVOS
On March 19, 1889 the same day when he arrived in Paris from London, Rizal organized
his paisanos (compatriots) into a society called Kidlat Club. Kidlat Club purely a social society of a
temporary nature founded by Rizal simply to bring together young Filipinos in the French capital
so that they could enjoy their sojourn in the city during the duration of the Universal Exposition.
Rizal was enchanted by the dignified and proud bearing of the American Indians in a Buffalo
Bull show. Indios Bravos (Brave Indians) replaced the ephemeral Kidlat Club its members pledged
to excel in intellectual and physical prowess in order to win the admiration of the foreigner.
Practiced with great enthusiasm the use of the sword and pistol and Rizal taught them judo, an
Asian art of self-defense, that he learned in Japan.
ANNOTATED EDITION OF MORGA PUBLISHED
Rizal’s outstanding achievement in Paris was the publication in 1890 of his annotated
editions of Morga’s Sucesos, which he wrote in the British Museum. It was printed by Garnier
Freres. The prologue was written by Professor Blumentritt upon the request of Rizal. He dedicated
his new edition of Morga to the Filipino people so that they would know of their glorious past. The
title page of Rizal’s annotated edition of Morga reads: “Paris, Liberia de Garnier Hermanos, 1890”
• The Philippines Within a Century-article written by Rizal which he expressed his views on the
Spanish colonization in the Philippines and predicted with amazing accuracy the tragic end of
Spain’s sovereignty in Asia
• The Indolence of the Filipinos- other essay of Rizal is also a prestigious work of historical
scholarship. It is an able defense of the alleged indolence of the Filipinos -Rizal made a critical
study of the causes why his people did not work hard during the Spanish regime. His main thesis
was that the Filipinos are not by nature indolent
• International Association of Filipinologists- association proposed by Rizal to establish taking
advantage of world attention which was then focused at the Universal Exposition in 1889 in Paris
and have its inaugural convention in the French capital

• Project for Filipino College in Hong Kong- another magnificent project of Rizal in Paris which
also fizzled out was his plan to establish a modern college in Hong Kong
• Por Telefono- another satirical work as a reply to another slanderer, Fr. Salvador Font, who
masterminded the banning of his Noli, in the fall of 1889 -it was published in booklet form in
Barcelona, 1889, this satirical pamphlet under the authorship of “Dimas Alang” is a witty satire
which ridicules Father Font.
• Shortly after New Year, Rizal made a brief visit to London. It may be due to two reasons: (1) to
check up his annotated edition of Morga’s Sucesos with the original copy in the British Museum
(2) to see Gertrude Beckett for the last time.
