Nínay is a novel in the Spanish language written by Pedro Alejandro Paterno, and is the first novel authored by a native Filipino. Paterno authored this novel when he was twenty-three years old[1] and while living in Spain in 1885, the novel was later translated into English in 1907[1] and into Tagalog in 1908.[2] According to Dominador D. Buhain in his book A History of Publishing in the Philippines, being the first Filipino novel, Ninay marked the beginning of the awakening of national consciousness among the Filipino intelligentsia. Being a "largely cultural" novel,[3] the narrative provides a "folkloristic tour" of the distinctive culture of the Philippines.[4] Composed of 262 pages, the 1908 Tagalog version of the novel was published by the Limbagan Nang La Republika Kiotan Bilang 30 during the American period in Philippine history.[5]
