Darul iubirii: Profetul. Nisip şi spumă. Deschizătorul de drumuri. Nebunul. Grădina profetului
Darul Iubirii reuneste cele mai cunoscute opere ale lui Kahlil Gibran.
Desi Gibran s-a considerat intotdeauna pictor si nu scriitor, celebritatea si-o datoreaza aproape in intregime cartilor sale. Reconcilierea celor doua inclinatii, literara si artistica, care si l-au revendicat fiecare pentru sine, s-a realizat totusi in opera lui scrisa, caci Gibran a scris ca si cum ar fi pictat. Chiar daca putin numeroase, povestirile lui pline de viata precum si "poemele in proza" au avut o influenta considerabila in epoca. Limbajul sau este simplu si colocvial, dar intotdeauna grav, iar daca inspiratia sa are neindoielnic radacini in traditie, cum bine observau exegetii sai arabi, stilul si "tusa scriiturii" raman puternic marcate de cultura occidentala.

About the author
Kahlil Gibran
1,318 books15.1k followersKahlil Gibran (Arabic:
جبران خليل جبران
) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer.
Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.
He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture.
Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.

O carte frumoasă ca o duminică.

I read this book in one of the darkest periods of my life and it helped me keep an open mind and realize that although we stand alone face to face with life, we have a duty to be happy and to love. My rating might be very subjective, but it is truly a wonderful book with stupendous and symbolic drawings.

Prea multă metaforă pentru gusturile mele în povestiri și poeme. Nici vorbă de a contesta calitatea scriiturii sau a mesajului transmis. E doar o chestiune de gusturi și mie acum, în momentul acesta al vieții mele, Kahlil Gibran nu mi-a intrat pe sub piele.

I finished reading this book. Feel excited to read the Gift of Love by Kahlil Gibran.

"Inţelepciunea încetează de a mai fi înţelepciune atunci cînd devine prea mîndră ca să mai suspine, prea sobră pentru a mai surîde şi prea plină de ea însăşi pentru a mai căuta şi altceva."
