Optimistic and wise, these love poems convey a mystical certainty of the arrival of love, while dramatizing the search for a soul mate that takes place in daily life, the imagination, and dreams. Inviting reflection on the meaning of love and eloquently rendering the chain of moments that the experience of love leads us through, this famous inspirational poet channels the same proverbial simplicity and lyrical beauty that made his poem "The Prophet" instantly and internationally loved.

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. Estos temas son: el amor, el matrimonio, los hijos, el dar, el comer y el beber, el trabajo, la alegría y el dolor, las casas, el vestir, el comprar y el vender, el crimen y el castigo, las leyes, la libertad, la razón y la pasión, el dolor, el conocimiento, el enseñar, la amistad, el hablar, el tiempo, lo bueno y lo malo, la oración, el placer, la belleza, la religión, y la muerte.Por ejemplo, respecto a la alegría y el dolor dice: "Cuando estéis tristes, (...) veréis que estáis llorando, en verdad, por lo que fue vuestro deleite".A pesar de que la obra está escrita a modo de diálogo simple entre el profeta y la gente del pueblo, las directivas que Gibrán pone en su boca invitan a reconsiderar los valores, conceptos, hábitos y costumbres de la sociedad, llevando al lector hacia una idea menos individualista y con un gran sentido de empatía con los seres vivientes, así como la mayor relevancia de un estrato espiritual subyacente a todas las acciones humanas.Su inspiración es, probablemente, la sabiduría de grandes maestros (como Jesús o Buda), las religiones orientales y corrientes de espiritualidad marcadas por un gran sentido de lo místico, como el sufismo, sin perder semejanza a su vez con las creencias animistas de muchas sociedades tribales cercanas a la naturaleza.

Wie kein anderer Künstler vermag Khalil Gibran Sinn und Wahrheit unseres Daseins zu beschreiben. Nicht ganz ohne Kritik an unserem Denken und Handeln, aber ganz ohne jede Verurteilung und beseelt vom größten Geist, der uns allen innewohnt.

The Prophet - Der Prophet (German Edition)

Self-Help

"You ask me how I became a madman? That is how it happened: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found that a ll my masks were stolen." In ancient Greece and Rome stage actors used to wear masks. The Latin word for "Mask" was "Person", derived from the Latin "per", meaning "through which" and "son" meaning "sound". So the word "Person", or "that through which the sound comes", used to refer to the mask worn by an actor as he performed his role or character on stage. Life is a the ultimate stage and, in every day life, we usually don different masks, or personae, to match the different roles we play during our many social interactions. In "The Madman", Khalil Gibran tells us that all his masks were stolen. He has no more roles to play. So whatever we are going to hear will be the voice of his true self. Khalil Gibran is telling us the truth. For the poetry of The Madman is raw, honest, and deeply human. Gibran is reaching deep into his subconscious, digging for precious pearls of wisdom and presenting them to us natural, unpolished. The Madman is entirely of the East, with no shading of Western thought or content. It is an expression of a passionate inner life not yet restrained or controlled. Here, Gibran registers fully his sense of aloneness. That sense of aloneness that remained with him always. He was an alien to this planet, to that time and that scene, yet he always battled to reduce the distance between himself and the rest of us. The Madman is a small book. It is roughly 70 pages long but it is short by necessity. Any longer would be too much. It has so much beauty and wisdom crammed into those pages that it feels as if it is a complete philosophical tome of epic length. The Madman reminds me of Nietzsche's Zarathustra or Hesse's Steppenwolf. If you are in a ponderous mood and wish for a book that inspires reflection, The Madman is an excellent choice.
