Synopsis

Kahlil Gibran’s aphorisms, stories, and poetry on a theme remain among some of those best known to Western readers. His views, however, extend beyond the most-quoted “greeting card” sayings to a wide realm of human emotions and relationships—passion, desire, idealized love, justice, friendship, and the challenges of dealing with strangers, neighbors, and enemies. This little book captures love and life in all of their complexities and nuances.This little volume includes over ninety selections from Gibran’s writings and is divided into four sections: Love’s InitiationThe Veils of LoveAll of Our RelationshipsA Love BeyondThis book, ideal for all gift-giving occasions, is informative, illuminating, and inspirational.Whom Do We Love?When I stood, a clear mirror before you, you gazed into me and saw your image. Then you said, “I love you.”But in truth you loved yourself in me. Love is the veil between lover and lover

About Kahlil Gibran

Khalil Gibran was born in 1883 in Lebanon and died in New York in 1931. His family emigrated to the United States in 1895. In his early teens, the artistry of Gibran’s drawings caught the eye of his teachers and he was introduced to the avant-garde Boston artist, photographer, and publisher Fred Holland Day, who encouraged and supported Gibran in his creative endeavors. A publisher used some of Gibran’s drawings for book covers in 1898, and Gibran held his first art exhibition in 1904 in Boston. In 1908, Gibran went to study art with Auguste Rodin in Paris for two years, and he later studied art in Boston. While most of Gibran’s early writing was in Arabic, most of his work published after 1918 was in English. Gibran’s best-known work is The Prophet, a book composed of 28 poetic essays.

Goodreads review by Kinga

Mam wrażenie, że będzie to idealna pozycja dla osób, które swoje życie codzienne opierają na religii. Dla mnie niby było tego nieco za dużo, ale i tak zaznaczyłam mnóstwo cytatów z czego ogromnie się cieszę. Dotyczyły one tak naprawdę uczuć wszelakich. Zauroczenia, zniechęcenia, pożądania, zaciekawie......more
