The Garden of Luzon is a novel written by Julian Scott Bryan and published in 1912. The story is set in the Philippines during the early 20th century, when the country was under American colonial rule. The protagonist, a young American named John Scott, travels to the Philippines to work for a plantation owner named Mr. Carrington. He becomes enamored with the beauty of the country and its people, especially a young Filipina woman named Luzon, whom he meets in the garden of Mr. Carrington's estate. As John gets to know Luzon, he learns about the struggles of the Filipino people under American rule, including discrimination, poverty, and political oppression. He becomes increasingly sympathetic to their cause and eventually joins the Philippine Revolution against the Americans. The novel explores themes of love, colonialism, and social justice, and provides a vivid portrayal of the Philippines during a tumultuous period in its history. The Garden of Luzon is considered an important work of early 20th century American literature and a valuable historical document of the Philippine-American War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
