À propos de cet e-book
In "The Madman - His Parables & Poems," Kahlil Gibran employs a unique blend of lyrical prose and poetic verse to explore themes of love, madness, and spiritual transcendence. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century philosophical thought, Gibran's collection takes the reader on a journey through the fragmented psyche of a madman—both a commentator and a seer. The narrative style captures Gibran's characteristic eloquence and depth, interweaving parables that challenge conventional wisdom and evoke a contemplative response. This innovative work encapsulates Gibran's philosophical inquiries into the human condition amidst the sociopolitical upheaval of his time, providing rich insights into the dualities of existence. Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer, poet, and philosopher, drew inspiration from a diverse array of influences, including his heritage and early life in Lebanon. His exposure to both Eastern mysticism and Western literary traditions is reflected in this collection. Gibran's experiences of displacement and introspection shaped his worldview, making "The Madman" a poignant exploration of identity, belonging, and the search for truth in a complex world. This profound work is highly recommended for readers seeking spiritual awakening and philosophical musings presented in a beautifully crafted format. Gibran's timeless parables resonate deeply with contemporary audiences, making it a must-read for those interested in exploring the depths of the human soul and the beauty within madness.
À propos de l'auteur
Kahlil Gibran, born Gibran Khalil Gibran, on January 6, 1883, in Bsharri, Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire, is a revered literary figure known for his lyrical and inspirational prose and poetry that blend Eastern mysticism with Western existentialism. Primarily writing in English and Arabic, Gibran's works explore themes of love, spirituality, and humanity. His most famous book, 'The Prophet' (1923), has been translated into over 100 languages, making it one of the most translated books in history. 'The Madman: His Parables and Poems' (1918), showcases Gibran's early exploration of the themes of freedom and self-discovery. Through the character of the Madman, Gibran delves into the idea that societal norms often mask true wisdom and that madness can sometimes signify a profound understanding of life's paradoxes and the liberation of thought. This work is characterized by its allegorical narratives and lyrical style that mirrors the philosophical depth of his subsequent writings. Gibran's legacy continues to influence modern literature and New Age thought, reflecting his belief in the universality of human experience and the transcendence of the spiritual over the material. His literary style is noted for its eloquence and prophetic qualities, which give his words an enduring appeal that crosses cultural boundaries. Gibran's body of work remains a testament to his wide-ranging impact on twentieth-century thought and literature.
