This book contains two of the best known works of Khalil Gibran. Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title.Gibran discussed ""such themes as religion, justice, free will, science, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death"" in his writings, which were ""characterized by innovation breaking with forms of the past, by symbolism, an undying love for his native land, and a sentimental, melancholic yet often oratorical style.""About his language in general (both in Arabic and English), Salma Khadra Jayyusi remarks that ""because of the spiritual and universal aspect of his general themes, he seems to have chosen a vocabulary less idiomatic than would normally have been chosen by a modern poet conscious of modernism in language."" According to Jean Gibran and Kahlil G. Gibran,""Ignoring much of the traditional vocabulary and form of classical Arabic, he began to develop a style which reflected the ordinary language he had heard as a child in Besharri and to which he was still exposed in the South End [of Boston]. This use of the colloquial was more a product of his isolation than of a specific intent, but it appealed to thousands of Arab immigrants.""

'Alas rotas' simboliza el fracaso de un amor puro entre un hombre y una mujer, que se vio truncado por el materialismo y la ambición de un obispo que rinde más culto a las riquezas que a su Dios, y lo trunca a través de su insensible sobrino, que sólo busca en Selma el dinero de la herencia del acaudalado Farris Efendi y, además, la posibilidad de que pueda perpetuar el clan con un hijo.

Gibrán Kahlil Gibrán trata de impulsar al lector a cambiar su forma de vida basándose principalmente en llevarla de una forma equilibrada con respecto a la divinidad y la paz interior. Para Gibrán los obstáculos y vicisitudes del mundo son solo pruebas que permiten al hombre evolucionar y avanzar por el camino hacia la purificación, así nos demuestra que el mundo será mejor cuando los hombres sean capaces de acercarse y convivir.

The Prophet: For a New Generation is a contemporary edition of the prose-poetry fables written in English by the Lebanese American poet and writer Kahlil Gibran. The original book, The Prophet, is undoubtedly Gibran's best-known work. It has been translated into over a hundred languages, making it one of the most translated books in history and one of the bestselling books of all time. The story focuses on the prophet Almustafa who has lived in the city of Orphalese for twelve years and is about to board a ship that will carry him home. He is stopped by a group of people with whom he discusses topics such as life and the human condition. This new and accessible edition is divided into fourteen chapters dealing with love, marriage, children, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, freedom, self-knowledge, friendship, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, and death. Khalil Gibran (1883-1931) poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon. The millions of Arabic-speaking people familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages. In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English. The Prophet and his other books of poetry are known and loved by many Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of the human heart and mind. His writings in both languages, which deal with such themes as love, death, nature, and a longing for the homeland, are full of lyrical outpourings and are expressive of his deeply religious and mystic nature. +

"You ask me how I became a madman? That is how it happened: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found that a ll my masks were stolen." In ancient Greece and Rome stage actors used to wear masks. The Latin word for "Mask" was "Person", derived from the Latin "per", meaning "through which" and "son" meaning "sound". So the word "Person", or "that through which the sound comes", used to refer to the mask worn by an actor as he performed his role or character on stage. Life is a the ultimate stage and, in every day life, we usually don different masks, or personae, to match the different roles we play during our many social interactions. In "The Madman", Khalil Gibran tells us that all his masks were stolen. He has no more roles to play. So whatever we are going to hear will be the voice of his true self. Khalil Gibran is telling us the truth. For the poetry of The Madman is raw, honest, and deeply human. Gibran is reaching deep into his subconscious, digging for precious pearls of wisdom and presenting them to us natural, unpolished. The Madman is entirely of the East, with no shading of Western thought or content. It is an expression of a passionate inner life not yet restrained or controlled. Here, Gibran registers fully his sense of aloneness. That sense of aloneness that remained with him always. He was an alien to this planet, to that time and that scene, yet he always battled to reduce the distance between himself and the rest of us. The Madman is a small book. It is roughly 70 pages long but it is short by necessity. Any longer would be too much. It has so much beauty and wisdom crammed into those pages that it feels as if it is a complete philosophical tome of epic length. The Madman reminds me of Nietzsche's Zarathustra or Hesse's Steppenwolf. If you are in a ponderous mood and wish for a book that inspires reflection, The Madman is an excellent choice.

Esta obra se centra en el argumento en multitud de historias, anécdotas, parábolas y reflexiones de tipo espiritual contadas desde la perspectiva de un hombre que se considera loco a sí mismo.

Simple, inclusive, and profound, Khalil Gibrán's messages are rooted in the transcendental spirituality of religions, and primarily, on the constant search of similarities between the faiths. The love of neighbor; the inclusion of each individual; freedom; and the certainty that life is a journey of learning that ends once the human being returns to that Totality all are part of the philosophy that this prophet unveils before the citizens of Orphalese, and by extension, to the readers of the world.
