IRATKOZZ FEL A KIVÁLASZTOTT CÍMRE, KATTINTS A "HAMAROSAN" FELIRAT MELLETTI KIS SZÍVECSKÉRE, HOGY AZONNAL ÉRTESÜLJ A MEGJELENÉSRŐL! Az Antikrisztusban Nietzsche – annak ellenére, hogy művét a főbb európai nyelveken ő egyenként milliós példányszámban szerette volna megjelentetni, ami enyhén szólva ellentmond az Előszó kezdősorának, hogy a mű „azokhoz szól, kiknek száma a legkevesebb” – egy, a világból távozó ember és gondolkodó benyomását kelti; radikálisan eltávolodik kora – és a mi korunk – mindhárom jelentős eszmerendszerétől: a kereszténységtől, a liberalizmustól és a szocializmustól. Nézeteinek érvényesítésére két kitörési pont maradt csupán: vagy a heroikus-ezoterikus arisztokratizmus vagy pedig a rasszista populizmus. Hogy tanait és nézeteit a későbbiek során kik és milyen célokra használták fel, abban neki magának is felelőssége van. S bizonyos az is, hogy Az Antikrisztus sem mentes a hibáktól és a fogyatékosságoktól. Azonban rá magára is érvényesnek érezzük azt, amit Nietzsche huszonhárom esztendős korában vetett papírra: a nagy emberek tévedései olykor termékenyebbek, mint a kisszerűek igazságai. Csejtei Dezső

ISTEN Amikor a kezdetek idején ajkamra tódult az első remegő hang, fel kellett másznom a Szent Hegyre, hogy szólhassak Istenemhez. Azt mondtam: „Uram, a Te szolgád vagyok. Titkos akaratod a törvénye, s követlek Téged mindenkor.” De Isten nem válaszolt. Eltűnt előlem akárcsak egy hatalmas vihar. s ezer év múltán ismét felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, és ismét szóltam Istenhez. azt mondtam: „Teremtőm, én a Te teremtményed vagyok. Hangból formáltál meg engem, ami vagyok és amim van, mindenért Neked vagyok adós. De Isten nem válaszolt. eltűnt, mint ezer sebes szárny. S ezer év elteltével megint felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, s újra szóltam Istenhez. Azt mondtam: „Atyám, én a Te fiad vagyok. Szeretetedből és könyörületedből teremtettél engem, s én a szeretetben és tiszteletben akarom királyságodat örökölni.” De az Isten nem válaszolt. eltűnt, mint a pára a messzeségben. s ezer év elmúltával ismét felmásztam a Szent Hegyre, és újra szóltam Istenhez. Azt mondtam: „istenem, én célom és beteljesülésem. Én vagyok a tegnapod, és Te vagy a holnapom. Én vagyok gyökered a földben, te vagy virágom az égben, s együtt növekszünk a Nap fényében.” Akkor lehajolt hozzám Isten és fülembe szavakat suttogott. S mint a tenger, amikor magába öleli a patakot, amely beleömlik, úgy ölelt Ő magába engem. s mikor alászálltam a mély völgybe Istent ott is ott volt.

A szeretet nem ad egyebet, mint önmagát, és nem vesz el semmit, csupán önmagából. A szeretet nem birtokol, és nem birtokolható.

E három kötet, melyek 1931 – 32-ben és 1948-ban jelentek meg, első ízben kerülnek magyar nyelven az olvasó elé. A Földi istenek nagyívű eposz az emberről, aki felfelé kapaszkodik, valahol félúton van állat és isten közt, azt hiszi, hogy a földi világon túl van, holott még annak legmagasabb csúcsait sem tapodta lába. Ősi eposz formájában megírt szépséges allegória a művésztől az embernek az emberről, földi (és égi) feladatáról, helyéről. A vándor című kötet 52 parabola, állatmese, mondás, mely Gibran tömör írásművészetének lényegét adja: rövid, szikár, patikamérlegen kimért mondatok elementáris csattanóval és üzenettel, melyek hetekig motoszkálnak bennünk, és tárják fel valódi értelmüket. Olyanok, mint a nyíló rózsabimbó: a napok előrehaladtával egyre újabb és újabb réteget mutatnak meg. A völgy nimfái mélyen megrázó, katartikus alkotás: a szeretet, a szerelem és a hit mindent átható, mindent megváltoztató és univerzumokat átívelő erejéről szóló három novella: Gibran művészetének kvintesszenciája. A műveket olvasva értjük meg, hogy könyveit miért vetette máglyára a maronita egyház Bejrút főterén és íróját miért átkozta ki az egyház kebeléből. E művek olvasásával hatolhatunk a legközelebb Gibran megértéséhez: miszticizmusa nem más, mint saját, emberi lelkünk legmélyének, saját emberi valónknak a felmutatása. Lélekemelő művek, az emberi eszme örök értékei, Gibran megfogalmazásában: „A lélek fenségesebb az űrnél, kitartóbb az időnél, mélyebb az óceánnál és tündöklőbb a csillagoknál.”

A hugely influential philosophical work of prose poetry, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet is an inspirational, allegorical guide to living. First published in the 1920's, The Prophet is perhaps the most famous work of religious fiction of the twentieth century, and has sold millions of copies in more than twenty languages. Gibran's Prophet speaks of many things central to daily life: love, marriage, death, beauty, passion, eating, work and play. The spiritual message he imparts, of finding divinity through love, blends eastern mysticism, religious faith and philosophy with simple advice. The Prophet became the bible of 1960s culture and was credited with founding the New Age movement, yet it still continues to inspire people around the world today. This edition is illustrated with Gibran's famous visionary paintings.

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. So begins The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran's transcendant verse cycle in which the prophet Almustafa boards a ship bearing him homeward and discusses with those whom he meets on board life, love, and and all aspects of the human condition. Never out of print since its first publication in 1923, Gibran's collection of prose poems is one of the best-loved volumes in world literature.

One of the world’s best-loved poets, Kahlil Gibran was never more profound than when he wrote about love. He believed it was the raison d’etre of the universe.

Compiled by the world’s leading expert on Gibran, this beautiful collection is a timeless celebration of humanity’s most enduring force, and a perfect gift for those tired of clichéd romantic verse.
