520 _aKnowing the life and ideals of Dr. Jose P. Rizal, national hero of the Philippines is every Filipino's birthright and privilege. His is a wellspring of values that can propel our nation and our race to greatness. He wove a tapestry of lofty ideals and teachings, conceived the foundation of an idea society in La Liga Filipina and created a prototype of an altruistic community service and governance while in exile in Dapitan. Thus, Dr. Rizal is the epitome of a role model for every Filipino. But, what if a man of foreign descent comes to revere and found himself journeying life with the story of Dr. Rizal as his point of reference and inspiration? What if he knew much more of Dr. Rizal than many Filipinos knew? The book, Belgian Rizalist, brings us to the edge of this inconvenient possibility. It is a book that takes on a textured and multi-dimensional scrutiny how a Belgian by the name of Sir Lucien Spittael, KGOR, was merely fascinated at first but later found himself genuinely devoted to what Dr. Rizal lived and died for. The reader of this book shall find himself deeply involved in the interaction between and among these three gentlemen and in the end, shall also find himself playing a part as he will realize that Dr. Rizal indeed deserves his faithful emulation. --Foreword of the book.
