Kahlil Gibran

    Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer whose work is regarded in the Arab world as a literary and political rebellion. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for his 1923 book, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. His writing is characterized by profound wisdom and timeless themes that resonate with readers across generations.

    Il Profeta - Il Giardino del Profeta
    • This volume collects two masterpieces by Kahlil Gibran. The Prophet, first published in New York in 1923, sparked both criticism and enthusiasm, reflecting its profound impact. The author intended it to be the first part of a trilogy exploring humanity's relationship with itself, nature, and God. The second part, The Garden of the Prophet, remains unfinished and was published posthumously, while the third was never written. The verses delve into the human soul with poetic sensitivity and visionary strength, evoking the works of Blake, Nietzsche, Indian mystics, and Islamic ascetics. This nearly legendary work encapsulates the teachings of the prophet, offering genuine pearls of wisdom that have illuminated many minds and softened hearts. It serves as a kind of "mystical breviary" filled with poetic insights on life's realities: marriage, children, work, homes, joy and sorrow, buying and selling, knowledge, and teaching.

      For the first time, all the major works of this beloved writer are gathered together in one volume. Poet, artist, and mystic, Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and immigrated to the United States as an adolescent. His masterpiece, The Prophet, a book of poetic essays that he began while still a youth in Lebanon, is one of the most cherished books of our time and has sold millions of copies in more than twenty languages since its publication in 1923. But all of Gibran’s works—essays, stories, parables, and prose poems—are imbued with equally powerful simplicity and wisdom, whether they are addressing marriage or children, friendship or grief, work or pleasure. Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so remarkably varied and widespread a readership. Included in this volume are The Prophet, The Wanderer, Jesus the Son of Man, A Tear and a Smile, Spirits Rebellious, Nymphs of the Valley, Prose Poems, The Garden of the Prophet, The Earth Gods, Sand and Foam, The Forerunner, and The Madman.

      Early in this century a Lebanese poet, Kahlil Gibran, produced a book that has become universally known and loved for its beauty and the timeless themes it addresses. But because Gibran was a poet, not a mystic, in The Prophet he could give us only a work of imagination, a glimpse into the dream that is the mystic's everyday reality. The Messiah, Osho's two-volume commentary on The Prophet, must find itself as a companion to Gibran's work in the hands of every lover of truth and beauty. In this volume Osho speaks on the themes that Gibran addresses through the fictional prophet, love, children, giving, work; eating and drinking, and clothes; joy and sorrow; houses and homes, buying and selling; crime and punishment.

      This long-awaited re-publication of the first Arab-American novel—inspiration for Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet —deals with Arab/American relations, religious conflict and the American immigrant experience. Told with great good humor and worldly compassion, and with illustrations by Kahlil Gibran, The Book of Khalid recounts the adventures of two young men, Khalid and Shakib, who leave Lebanon for the United States to seek their fortune in turn-of-thecentury New York. Together, they face all the difficulties of poor immigrants—the passage by ship, admittance through Ellis Island and the rough immigrant life. Khalid, always the dreamer, tries to participate in the political and cultural life of the teeming city—to often humiliating and comic result. Tiring of their sojourn, he convinces Shakib they should return to Lebanon. But their heads are now full of New World ideas. And Khalid, trying to improve his brethren, turns his understanding of Western thought into a call for political progress, and religious unity and tolerance in the Arab world. A call that has him, accidentally, almost founding a new religion—and almost becoming its first martyr, when his ideas incite the faithful to riot. Playing with classical Arabic literary forms, as well as Western literary conventions, Ameen Rihani’s The Book of Khalid is a unique contribution to American and World literature.

Le pagine di Gibran hanno un fascino luminoso e senza tempo, giungono senza mediazioni al cuore del lettore per parlargli con davvero «profetica» semplicità dei grandi, eterni temi dell’esistenza spirituale e corporea.

    • Gibrán es ante todo una mística al modo oriental, en su desasimiento del mundo y su apetencia de una calidad superior. Un impetuoso anhelo de descarnación, en el que se puede reconocer algún eco del Rubaiyat, está presente en todos sus libros. Pero aparte de esta tónica mística y como un arabesco sobre ella, corre por toda su obra una sutil vena de ironía incisiva y amarga, netamente occidental, difícil de hallar en la vieja literatura de Oriente.

De Kahlil Gibran a Mary Haskell, 10 de noviembre de 1911 ... La vida es generosa, y el hombre es mezquino. Parece que existe un abismo entre la vida y el ser humano, y —para atravesar este abismo— es necesario tener el coraje de tocar la propia alma, y cambiarla de dirección. ¿Valdrá la pena? De Kahlil Gibran a Mary Haskell, 5 de abril de 1914 El amor es consciente de sí mismo. Es un impulso creativo; no tiene otro propósito más que bastarse a sí mismo. El ser humano es perfecto en sus imperfecciones. Debo aceptar que, cuando alguien se mueve muy lentamente en determinada dirección, se debe a que es la única manera que tiene de recorrer ese camino. Lo mismo ocurre con el amor. De Kahlil Gibran a Mary Haskell, 21 de abril de 1920

Gli scritti del "Profeta del Libano" possiedono un particolare sapore di antica saggezza che sa fondersi con l'attualità del suo pensiero, per quanto le due cose possano sembrare incompatibili. Scrittore di fine intelligenza, sviluppa parabole sulle grandi questioni dell'esistenza, immergendosi nelle profondità del misticismo. Nel suo stile semplice, essenziale, lapidario, sa spaziare dalla tenerezza che dà sollievo allo spirito alla più amara invettiva che brucia la coscienza.

      Der Klassiker von Khalil Gibran: zeitlos und noch hochaktuell Einzigartige Schmuckausgabe mit 4 aufwendig gestalteten Extras Prächtig veredelt und durchgehend farbig illustriert Rund 100 Jahre nach ihrem ersten Erscheinen sind die Werke von Khalil Gibran ebenso zeitlose wie hochaktuelle Klassiker der Weltliteratur . Wie kein anderer versteht es dieser außergewöhnliche Dichter und Philosoph, der im Libanon geboren und in den USA aufgewachsen ist, mit seinen bildreichen, poetischen Gleichnissen und Erzählungen Brücken zu bauen : zwischen der orientalischen und westlichen Kultur, zwischen Islam und Christentum und vor allem zwischen den Herzen der Menschen. Diese prächtig ausgestattete Schmuckausgabe mit Illustrationen von Anne Mußenbrock enthält drei seiner einflussreichsten Werke, „Der Vorbote" (1920), „Der Prophet" (1923) und „Der Garten des Propheten" (1933 postum) , sowie ein lesenswertes Nachwort von Ursula und Simon Yussuf Assaf.

Lass sie sich in der Leidenschaft einer Geliebten, in der Vollkommenheit des Schöpfungswerks, im göttlichen Atem manifestieren, der zum Höchsten erhebt."

Diese Sammlung, die seine berührendsten Liebestexte präsentiert, lädt dazu ein, im Raum der Träume mit den Worten des großen Propheten des Friedens zu navigieren, um die wahre Essenz des Lebens wiederzufinden: die Liebe.

    • Dieses Buch ist das letzte Werk von Kahlil Gibran, in dem er uns Seiten hinterlässt, die reich an Meinungen, voll von Gedanken und erfüllt von dem inneren Konflikt sind, der die menschliche Seele antreibt. Gibran hat all dies niedergeschrieben, nachdem sein Denken gereift war, weshalb dieses Buch zu den wichtigsten für die Studierenden seines Lebens gehört.

      Antologia curata da I. Farinelli per chi desidera conoscere meglio Gibran. È concepita come un immaginario alfabeto del suo mondo, ispirato da quella che ne è la parola-chiave d'apertura: amore. Attorno ad essa innumerevoli concetti che ne moltiplicano le rifrazioni: da arroganza a conformismo, da fidanzamento a narcisismo, da ottusità a vitalità.
