Gibran's Jesus: The Son of Man is a portrayal of Christ through the eyes of His contemporaries - men and women who knew him as an enemy, friend, teacher, and Son.

The characters, including Mary Magdalen, Simon Peter, Pontius Pilate, and Barabbas are brought to life against the social, political, and religious realities of Palestine and Rome at that period.

L'amour, le mariage, l'amitié et l'argent sont autant de thèmes dont nous entretient Khalil Gibran...

Lynch mobs, chain gangs, and popular views of black Southern criminals that defined the Jim Crow South are well known. We know less about the role of the urban North in shaping views of race and crime in American society. Chronicling the emergence of deeply embedded notions of black people as a dangerous race of criminals by explicit contrast to working-class whites and European immigrants, this fascinating book reveals the influence such ideas have had on urban development and social policies.

Khalil Rafati went to Los Angeles in the 1990s and had it all. He was working with Hollywood movie stars and legendary rock musicians, but it wasn't long before he found his way into the dark underbelly of the City of Angels. When he hit rock bottom-addicted to heroin and cocaine, overtaken by paranoia and psychosis, written off by his friends and family - he grabbed a shovel and kept digging. So how does someone with nothing, who feels like they deserve nothing, and who just wants to end it all turn their life around?

In Seasons of Purgatory, the fantastical and the visceral merge in tales of tender desire and collective violence, the boredom and brutality of war, and the clash of modern urban life and rural traditions. Mandanipour, banned from publication in his native Iran, vividly renders the individual consciousness in extremis from a variety of perspectives: young and old, man and woman, conscript and prisoner. While delivering a ferocious social critique, these stories are steeped in the poetry and stark beauty of an ancient land and culture.

Spektakuläre Raubüberfälle, Morddrohungen, Schießereien, Schutzgelderpressung, Drogenkriminalität: Mit Khalil O. erklärt erstmals ein Insider, was wirklich hinter den Schlagzeilen über arabische Clans steckt. Khalil stammt aus einem polizeibekannten Clan in Berlin und öffnet eine Tür in eine verschlossene Welt, die nach ganz eigenen Gesetzen funktioniert. Er erzählt von Gewalt, arrangierten Ehen und Blutrache, von Familiengeschäften wie Drogenschmuggel und Raubzügen.

The Forerunner is Gibran's second book in the English language built upon the mystical and spiritual thematic foundations that he had laid down with The Madman. "You are your own forerunner, and the towers you have builded are but the foundation of your giant-self. And that self too shall be a foundation."

Trascorsi dodici anni in terra straniera, Al Mustafa (l'Eletto di Dio), sente che è giunto il momento di tornare all'isola natìa. In procinto di salpare, affida al popolo della città di Orphalese un prezioso testamento spirituale: una serie di riposte sui grandi temi della vita e della morte, dell'amore e della fede, del bene e del male. Pubblicato a New York nel 1923, "Il Profeta" viene accolto con gran favore di pubblico. Soprattutto i giovani vedono in Gibran un maestro di saggezza. A distanza di tanti anni l'interesse per il capolavoro del poeta libanese è rimasto immutato.

"Il Profeta" è l'opera più famosa del poeta e filosofo libanese Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931). Alla gente che gli chiede di parlare dell'amore, della vita, della morte, del denaro, del lavoro, dei figli e delle tante altre problematiche umane, il profeta Almustafà risponde con profonda saggezza, in una ineguagliata sintesi del pensiero occidentale e orientale, della Bibbia e degli insegnamenti dei mistici Sufi. Un testo sapienziale che aiuta a conoscere meglio sé stessi e il proprio compito nella vita - e oltre. Il tutto letto magistralmente dalla voce dell'attore Enzo Decaro.

One of the beloved classics of popular spirituality, Kahlil Gibran’s masterpiece, The Prophet is a groundbreaking non-denominational collection of spiritual poetic aphorisms and essays known and loved throughout the world since its publication in 1923. Standing alongside Shakespeare and Lao Tzu, The Prophet has been translated into more than 100 languages, making it one of the most translated books in history. The Beatles, John F. Kennedy, and Indira Gandhi are among those who have been influenced by its words.

Twelve years - that's how long the prophet Almustafa has been waiting for the ship that is to take him back home. The people of the City of Orphalese ask him to tell them about his insights regarding human life: work, love, death, for example. In the ensuing 26 speeches, he does just that. Ever since its first publication in 1923, millions of copies of "The Prophet" were sold, making it one of the best sellers in spiritual literature.

2041. Pericolo dal Sole: entro poche ore, emissioni straordinarie di massa coronale colpiranno la Terra, già a rischio per l'indebolimento del campo magnetico che protegge il pianeta. In Nuova Zelanda un'aurora australe, che dovrebbe essere rivolta a sud, appare invece a nord. Un aereo in atterraggio a Nuova Delhi si schianta al suolo per il danneggiamento dei satelliti di comunicazione dovuto a una raffica di particelle ad alta energia provenienti dallo spazio.

As with The Prophet, Sand and Foam was not only a success on initial publication but was also a must read for many of those in the counter-culture scene in the sixties. John Lennon even borrowed a couplet, with a slight alteration, for his famed song 'Julia'.
