"The Council of the Gods" is a philosophical novel by the Filipino writer Jose Rizal. In this book, the author reproduces the images of many different cultures, combining their views on life, death, faith and morality. Set against a wave of criticism and mocking people's belief in divine intervention and control of essence, this work helps the reader to understand the pure task of life and justice. With the help of the quintessence of beauty and realism, Rizal realizes the great question of human destiny and the true essence of being.
