Kahlil Gibran eBooks

eBooks di Kahlil Gibran editi da Skyline di Formato Mobipocket

Kahlil Gibran, nato nel 1883 in una modesta famiglia cristiana del Libano, nel 1894 conosce la dura realtà dell'emigrazione verso gli Stati Uniti. Quando arriva in America, della sua lingua di origine conosce «poco più che le lettere dell'alfabeto». Per questo nel 1897 torna in Libano a studiare lingua e tradizioni arabe. Qui trascorre l'adolescenza e da questo soggiorno deriva il suo doppio registro espressivo, orientale e occidentale. Nel 1908 è a Parigi dove completa la sua formazione di scrittore e di pittore. Ritornato in America, muore a New York nel 1931. Delle sue molte opere, oltre a "Cose strane e meravigliose" (raccolta che contiene "Iram dalle alte colonne") ci limitiamo a ricordare la più celebre: "Il Profeta".

ALMUSTAFA, the chosen and the beloved, who was a dawn unto his own day, had waited twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship that was to return and bear him back to the isle of his birth.And in the twelfth year, on the seventh day of Ielool, the month of reaping, he climbed the hill without the city walls and looked seaward; and he beheld his ship coming with the mist.Then the gates of his heart were flung open, and his joy flew far over the sea. And he closed his eyes and prayed in the silences of his soul.BUT as he descended the hill, a sadness came upon him, and he thought in his heart:How shall I go in peace and without sorrow? Nay, not without a wound in the spirit shall I leave this city.Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?Too many fragments of the spirit have I scattered in these streets, and too many are the children of my longing that walk naked among these hills, and I cannot withdraw from them without a burden and an ache.
