Rizal discovered Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas in the British Museum and decided to reprint it for he Filipinos in Paris in 1889 with his commentaries. in 1990, in Chile, Elizabeth Medina read some of some articles written by Retana, on how Spain lost the Philippines, that are worth reading in a 1906 letterfrom the great writer Iguel de Unamuno to a friend. She requested copies from Madrid and discovered the first Rizal biography, published in 1907. She immediatedly began translating it into English, with commentaries to clarify historical and Cultural measnings that would otherwise be missed by postmodern Filipinos.
