"Council of Love: A Heavenly Tragedy in Five Acts" is a scandalous novel-parable by the Austrian writer Oskar Panizzi, published in 1904. The author, with the help of satire and deep reflections, guides his readers through the strange world of Heaven and Inferno, where a heavenly council meeting takes place, discussing the problems of love feelings, marriage, ideals and sins. The sharp reproduction of church structures and mockery of religious traditions in this work caused heated discussions and prosecutions by church officials and law enforcement agencies of the time. "Love Council" is a provocative novel that leaves behind deep philosophical reflections on the nature of love, faith and moral values.
