The prolific writings of Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet, continue to inspire a devoted international following and have transformed modern Arabic literature. In this volume of early writings, Gibran’s simple yet lyrical style crosses from prose to poetry and yields insight into his dedication and inner vision of beauty, including the tale of a strange hermit in “The Tempest”, the discovery of love lost to war in “The Mermaids”, and the long voyage of sea and soul in the prose poem “Between Night and Morn”.

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.

Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet, is known throughout the world as the immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. A Treasury of Kahlil Gibran, which sold over a hundred thousand copies, led to a wide demand for a sequel volume. The demand has been met in A Second Treasury of Kahlil Gibran. In this magnificent volume Gibran's writing in his beloved mother tongue, Arabic, have been translated superbly into English by his great friend, Anthony Rizeallah Ferris.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese American of Assyrian descent, an artist, poet and writer. He was born Gibran Khalil Gibran in Lebanon (at the time a Syrian Province of the Ottoman Empire) and spent much of his productive life in the United States. While most of Gibran's early writings were in Syriac and Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran also took part in the New York Pen League, also known as the "immigrant poets" (al-mahjar), alongside other important Lebanese American authors.

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.

Kahlil Gibran’s reflections on the wistful beauty, lofty majesty, and abiding peace of Eastern wisdom revolutionized Arab literature. This collection of dramatic poems uses the dialogue between age and youth as a platform to discuss deep subjects such as freedom, death, and the eternal soul. From “Of Life and Sorrow” to “Of Science and Knowledge”, Gibran’s vision transcends boundaries of religion and culture, finding beauty and wisdom in the universal struggles of everyday life.

Death is a subject that few of us talk about, but many think about and more than a few of us dread. Whether it is the actual end of our life’s journey or merely a transit point to heavenly glory, its actual point of impact is, obviously, life-changing. But what do poets think of it? How do their minds tangle with the subject and make sense of this? That’s what we wondered, too. Poets as rich and diverse as Longfellow, Hood, Bronte, Burns, and Gibran here share their words, thoughts and visions with us.

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.

Kahlil Gibran's 'The Madman' was the first book he penned in English. Beautifully written, it is a short collection of parables on God, animals, human nature, and life's big questions. Not as well known as his classic: 'The Prophet', but some would say just as inspirational, or possibly more so. Read the first verse here and decide for yourself, or better still, listen to the sample of Arthur Browns' beautiful narration. You ask me how I became a madman.

Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer."

"Il Profeta" è l'opera più famosa del poeta e filosofo libanese Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931). Alla gente che gli chiede di parlare dell'amore, della vita, della morte, del denaro, del lavoro, dei figli e delle tante altre problematiche umane, il profeta Almustafà risponde con profonda saggezza, in una ineguagliata sintesi del pensiero occidentale e orientale, della Bibbia e degli insegnamenti dei mistici Sufi. Un testo sapienziale che aiuta a conoscere meglio sé stessi e il proprio compito nella vita - e oltre. Il tutto letto magistralmente dalla voce dell'attore Enzo Decaro.

Pubblicato a New York nel 1923, "Il Profeta" viene subito accolto con grande favore di pubblico soprattutto presso i giovani, i quali vedono in Gibran un maestro di saggezza. A distanza di tanti anni l'interesse è rimasto immutato: silloge che abbraccia i problemi fondamentali dell'esistenza, il capolavoro del poeta libanese è anche libro di notevole fascino. Il clima sospeso e rarefatto, il ritmo incantatorio di una scrittura lirica di presa immediata, incisiva e visionaria, l'incontro tra due opposte culture, l'orientale e l'occidentale, sono la cifra di uno stile inconfondibile.

Il profeta (The Prophet) è una raccolta di poesie di Khalil Gibran pubblicata nel 1923 a New York dall'editore Knopf. Si tratta di una raccolta di poesie in prosa legate da un filo comune narrativo, nel quale si inseriscono tematiche differenti. È strutturata a domande e risposte: per ogni argomento, un personaggio fa una domanda al Profeta, il quale risponde per metafore e analogie con un testo di tipo poetico. È un testo che ha molto di religioso, pur non inserendosi esattamente in nessuna religione, dato che parla di temi quali lo spirito, la mente, la natura.
