Il Profeta - Il Giardino del Profeta

Więcej o książce

This volume collects two masterpieces by Kahlil Gibran. The Prophet, first published in New York in 1923, sparked both criticism and enthusiasm, reflecting its profound impact. The author intended it to be the first part of a trilogy exploring humanity's relationship with itself, nature, and God. The second part, The Garden of the Prophet, remains unfinished and was published posthumously, while the third was never written. The verses delve into the human soul with poetic sensitivity and visionary strength, evoking the works of Blake, Nietzsche, Indian mystics, and Islamic ascetics. This nearly legendary work encapsulates the teachings of the prophet, offering genuine pearls of wisdom that have illuminated many minds and softened hearts. It serves as a kind of "mystical breviary" filled with poetic insights on life's realities: marriage, children, work, homes, joy and sorrow, buying and selling, knowledge, and teaching.
