Kahlil Gibran
1) The prophet
6) El profeta
El éxito sin precedentes de "El profeta" (1923) del poeta libanés Khalil Gibrán (1883 – 1931) puede perfectamente interpretarse como el desencanto de occidente ante la prédica espiritual
de las religiones tradicionales.
En efecto Gibrán (el "poeta del exilio", como se lo llamó) con su poesía de alta espiritualidad se transformó, a partir de los 60, en el heraldo de la contracultura
...7) Le Prophète
The words of Kahlil Gibran give his book The Prophet a broad range of inspiration and philosophy. They provide exceptional insight into human desires and understanding. The vivid observations are vibrant with feeling and acceptance of life's many questions and hopes. One review saluted the story as being untouched by the harshness of life. Gibran's other two books, The Forerunner and The Madman, are of deep assistance in the same manner.
