Wenn die Liebe dir winkt, folge ihr.

by Kahlil Gibran, Volker Fabricius

« Certains d’entre vous disent que la joie est plus grande que la tristesse, et d’autres disent que c’est plutôt la tristesse qui est plus grande. Mais je vous dis qu’elles sont inséparables. Elles marchent ensemble et quand l’une est assise à votre table, n’oubliez pas que l’autre sommeille dans votre lit. » K. Gibran Le calligraphe Lassaâd Métoui a rencontré l’œuvre de Khalil Gibran dès sa plus tendre enfance. Après un premier opus consacré aux plus belles paroles d’amour du poète, il a cette fois voulu mettre en mouvement sa vision du bonheur. Voici donc les plus belles pensées de Gibran sur la difficile conquête du bonheur illustrées par l’un des calligraphes les plus talentueux actuellement.

About the author

Kahlil Gibran (Arabic: جبران خليل جبران ) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer.
Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.
He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture.
Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Lao-Tzu.

Reviews

[feryal talaat]

“L’amour est l’unique liberté qui existe dans ce monde. Parce qu’il élève l’âme à un rang suprême, où ni les codes des êtres humains, ni leurs coutumes ne peuvent l’atteindre et où ni les lois ni les ordres de la nature ne peuvent les gouverner.”

[Eliana · Rating 3 out of 5]

C'è sicuramente una perdita dal pensiero arabo, alla scrittura inglese, alla traduzione in italiano. I concetti sono chiari e veri come i sentimenti di chi scrive.

Khalil forever 🖤

[Andrea Patruno · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nulla di sensazionale, onestamente. Non più di due poesie sono state di mio gradimento, veramente.

[Debora · Rating 3 out of 5]
