UNA RACCOLTA INEDITA DELL'AUTORE DI IL PROFETA

Negli ultimi ottant’anni le parole di Gibran hanno toccato il cuore di milioni di lettori e sono state diffuse ovunque: dalle cartoline agli inviti per le cerimonie, fino al web e ai social, offrendo all’autore una fama universale e un posto di rilievo nella cultura pop. Sarebbe addirittura il terzo poeta più letto di tutti i tempi, superato solo da Shakespeare e Lao-Tsu. Ciò che contraddistingue Gibran è il suo modo – unico e originale, eppure capace di parlare a tutti – di raccontare storie di tolleranza, rispetto e amore; il suo modo di ispirare e motivare le persone lungo il loro percorso. Vivere, secondo il poeta, significa respirare l’energia della natura, partecipare della sua spinta e del suo incontenibile impulso a rinascere e rinnovarsi.
Questo libro raccoglie oltre cento tra favole, aforismi, parabole, racconti e poesie dell’autore del Profeta, parole che ci guidano alla scoperta della saggezza e della forza della vita.

About the author

Kahlil Gibran

1,329 books15.1k followers
Kahlil 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.
