Dennis Kleinman’s mesmerizing narration of Khalil Gibran’s great classic introduces The Prophet, The Madman, and The Forerunner to a new generation.

In these writings, Gibran offers verses and lyric prose that possess all the grandeur of rich music. Here are the great truths and heartening joys drawn from the tears and sufferings of man. Each work sparkles with simile and symbolism, from “Seven Reprimands”, containing wise rules to live by, to “The Sayings of the Brook”, about the secrets to beauty, wealth, and virtue. These are profound exaltations of a great soul, and a trove of wisdom as relevant today as when it was first written.

Khalil Gibran, nació en Bisharri, Líbano, el 6 de enero de 1883. A los 11 años, emigró con su familia a los Estados Unidos. Aprendió y cultivó con devoción el inglés, lengua que haría famosas sus novelas, aunque no olvidó el árabe. En 1902 inicia su vocación por la pintura, que le llevaría a ser famoso por doquier; y es en París donde expone sus obras y gana el elogio de la crítica.

El texto que Gibrán nos presenta en El profeta se nos ofrece como una revelación sobre la verdad de la vida en este mundo. Con estilo sencillo, de estructura dialógica y cierto sentido de parábola, el autor, imbuido de su papel de profeta, nos alecciona sobre el amor, el matrimonio, los hijos, el trabajo, el bien, el mal..., la muerte. Cada capítulo del libro se resuelve en una serena meditación de intención utilitaria.

El profeta da a todos los hombres, de acuerdo con las leyes de Dios, impulsos para reflexionar y respuesta sobre los sucesos y anomalías que tienen lugar en este mundo. Además habla también sobre su tarea y así también sobre sí mismo.

Ocho años antes de su muerte un profeta abandona el pueblo donde ha vivido y antes de irse la gente le pide que hable de ciertos temas, cada uno de los cuales forma un capítulo del libro. Para Gibrán los obstáculos y vicisitudes del mundo son solo pruebas que permiten al hombre evolucionar y avanzar por el camino hacia la purificación, así nos demuestra que el mundo será mejor cuando los hombres sean capaces de acercarse y convivir.

The Forerunner is Gibran's second book in the English language built upon the mystical and spiritual thematic foundations that he had laid down with The Madman. "You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation."

Twelve years - that's how long the prophet Almustafa has been waiting for the ship that is to take him back home. The people of the City of Orphalese ask him to tell them about his insights regarding human life: work, love, death, for example. In the ensuing 26 speeches, he does just that. Ever since its first publication in 1923, millions of copies of "The Prophet" were sold, making it one of the best sellers in spiritual literature.

Il Profeta Almustafa è vissuto nella città di Orfaslese in solitudine e meditazione per diversi anni. Quando arriva la nave che dovrà riportarlo in patria, tutta la gente della città gli si stringe attorno, e prima dell'addio, lui risponde alle domande che le persone gli pongono, offrendo loro una visione della vita fondata sull'accettazione del sé e sulla tolleranza universale.

The words of Kahlil Gibran give his book The Prophet a broad range of inspiration and philosophy. They provide exceptional insight into human desires and understanding. The vivid observations are vibrant with feeling and acceptance of life’s many questions and hopes. One review saluted the story as being untouched by the harshness of life. Gibran’s other two books, The Forerunner and The Madman, are of deep assistance in the same manner.

Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet and one of the 20th century’s most revolutionary, inspiring writers, effortlessly blends his unique perspective on Eastern and Western philosophy in this early collection of work, written when he was just 20 years old. From delicate turns of phrase to strong assertions of equality, delightful rejoicings to frightening prophecies, Gibran’s poetry and prose reveal his eternal hunger for love and beauty. This expanded edition includes key works of social justice such as “The Bride’s Bed” and firmly establishes Gibran’s role as champion of human rights and individual liberty.

Whilst the notion of the Mystic East and Oriental wisdom was greatly romanticised by the Victorians and others, the shadow of Colonialism has smudged the view. These great cultures are some of humanity’s earliest, their works, their art some of its most daring and most accomplished. In these 50 poems across 50 poets we hope, at least in part, to rebalance our view of this subject. We begin in the 6th century BC and travel with a poet’s words and eyes across India, China, Persia and many other places in between.

Dive into the mesmerizing story of "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, a literary masterpiece that transcends time and space. With its profound wisdom and poetic grace, this book beckons you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, and introspection.

Kahlil Gibran was Lebanese by birth but spent a major part of his life in America in the early part of the 20th century. He wrote many collections of stories with a wise or whimsical tone, but none more popular than The Prophet, his first collection, or The Wanderer, his final anthology.

Kanzi's family has moved from Egypt to America, and on her first day in a new school, what she wants more than anything is to fit in. Maybe that's why she forgets to take the kofta sandwich her mother has made for her lunch, but that backfires when Mama shows up at school with the sandwich. Mama wears a hijab and calls her daughter Habibti (dear one). When she leaves, the teasing starts.

En Alas rotas, Kahlil Gibran descubre la gloria y el dolor del amor joven. Esta historia levemente autobiográfica sigue la tradición de Romeo y Julieta, pero con los ajustes orientales y las imágenes exhuberantes característicos de Gibran. Alas rotas es una historia profunda de los cambios del amor, que explora el tema espiritual del significado de la existencia humana en un mundo que contiene belleza y amor profundos, en medio de las manchas de la avaricia y los dolores del sufrimiento.

A book of twenty-six poetic essays written in English, Kahlil Gibran’s Devdoot is full of religious inspirations.
