Kahlil Gibran (1883–1931), a poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age. But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages. His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world. In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English. His most famous work is The Prophet, a book of twenty-six poetic essays that explore some of the mysteries of life.

A voler essere precisi, "Il profeta" è nettamente superiore al "Giardino", anche se non riesco a dargli più di tre stelline a causa della sua brevità e del......more
Després d'un any i un parell de mesos acabo la lectura! Trobo que no és una lectura fàcil perquè cada frase es podria rellegir 10 vegades (o més) per trobar-hi el rerefons, i evidentment, això no ho he pogut fer amb totes. Hi ha relats que et criden i et desperten sensacions, n'hi ha d'altres amb el......more
