Gibran Khalil Gibran – författare

Gibran Khalil Gibran''s affection for the writer May Ziadeh lasted for nearly twenty years, with the two men only meeting in the nebulous world of thought, spirit, and imagination. Gibran was residing far and wide, while May was far and wide; he was in America, and she was in Cairo. Gibran''s love was not born of a glance, a smile, a greeting, or a word. Rather, it was a love that grew and developed through a lively literary correspondence and intellectual and spiritual debates that brought together two lonely hearts and two alienated souls, yet they were the closest of kin and the most passionate of lovers. It was very natural for the two heroes of this love to get to know each other through thought and publishing in the early years of this century after each of them had achieved great fame. May was impressed by Gibran''s articles and ideas, so she began corresponding with him after reading his story (Broken Wings), which he published abroad in 1912. She wrote to him expressing her admiration for his thought and style, and from here was the beginning, and then communication through letters in which each of them searched for the spirit of the other in his waking life and dreams. Each of them sought to see himself in the spirit of his companion, as if that spirit was the mirror on whose page the light of the other was reflected.

In his book "A Tear and a Smile," Gibran Khalil Gibran crossed an important stage in his journey with writing that may have answered questions that kept bubbling within him, so this text of his seems to intertwine absolute imagination and abstract truth; He also combines a tear and a smile in one instance, and this is a kind of difficulty that Gibran combined, sincerely in his belief in his words and in his vision of humanity as a whole. He says: "I hope that my life will remain a tear and a smile, a tear that purifies my heart and makes me understand the secrets and mysteries of life, and a smile that brings me closer to my grandmother''s children and will be a symbol of my glorification of the gods, a tear with which I can share with those who are contrite in heart, and a smile that will be the sign of my joy in my existence."

The previous book was published in the year 1920, and Gibran was at the time exhausted by many works, as a sick solution in the Azhar Park, as reported in his letter to Michael Naima. It is his second book in English (on Dar Knov). The "former" appeared as "crazy" in a small pieces, because his author, according to what Mary Haskel said, considered this pieces of the best conditions for the book, and he said to her about it: "We have to learn how to criticize ourselves. The poet sees a vision while he is in another world and when he returns From his world, he tries to cut his visions, he may not succeed in elaborating in a poem or painting. Perhaps this experience made Gibran adopt the legendary or symbolic story in the "previous", which involved twenty -four short tales and a poem spreading with an introduction. Tales are of a mystical and ethical character indirectly, as in the stories of the Bible or "Kalila and Dimna".

This story by Gibran Khalil Gibran is one of his most famous stories that he wrote in Arabic, and she talks about a young man at the age of eighteen who loves a girl, but that girl is engaged from another rich person and problems occur, and Gibran speaks in the form of the speaker, so he is the hero of the story and her narrator, which gives the story the credibility and proximity to the reader. Summary of the story: The events revolve around the first love story of Gibran and its profound impact on his life later, as the story of his love for Salama Karama, which had a tragic end, was narrated by the story from the end to the beginning. He returns to the beginning, when he visited one of his friends and got to know a rich man who is a Knight Persia. The friend of Khalil Gibran, the father of Gibran, was in the days of his youth, so he asked him to visit him in his home to talk to him about his father, and to know him on his daughter. So the writer did this novel, which changed his life when he got to know his daughter Salma, so he loved her from the first look and continued to visit them and organized, and his knowledge of peace increased and increased a pill and attached him to it. One day he went to dinner in the house of Mr. Karama, and when they were speaking, the bishop''s servant entered to ask Mr. Karama to go to the bishop for an important matter. By going to the father, it was the opportunity to reveal his love for her, and exchanged him at that time. But when Mr. Fares returned from the meeting of the bishop, he told Salma about the news of her marriage close to the nephew of the bishop, it was known for his greed and desire to obtain the property of Mr. Karama. The story continues to tell us about the first love in the life of Gibran Khalil Gibran.

This is the first books published by Gibran Khalil Gibran, the English language, and it included thirty -five tales and poem. In the crazy stories that are baking out far, it embodies the bitterness, disappointment, and curse on the presence of slag, ignorance and ossification, and he made his hero crazy to escape from logic, no one blames the insane, or as Gibran said because madness is the first step towards stripping, and it helps as in the custom of the surreal school, To realize the secrets and opinions of the mind. The book deals with one topic, which is the problem of the self in its relationship with itself and others, with the universe and God, and this topic is social and metaphysical, and the book represents the walk on itself and the traditions of its society and its values ​​and liberation in it, and the insane includes a group of likes symbolizing liberation and rejecting traditions, spiritual and longing for perfection in a simplified language The drama depends on the offensive and the funny similarities. And the reader of Gibran must stop full in front of the references that his works abound in the concept of "madness", and from the characters called the "insane". The one insane is related to the difference from what is prevalent, and after accepting the reality and the distance it imposes from the specifications that are worthy of human life, as a representative of divinity on the earth; Hence, by the desire to rebel against this reality, and reject the unjust laws and traditions that he imposes, and with ambition to build another world, more human, beautiful and fair - even if he delusions alone.

This book is cultivated by a set of good and noble values ​​and attributes that lead a person to elevation and transition in the sense of humanity, as it urges honesty, giving, and friendship. The book dominated the spiritual tendency that transcends the soul to realize the secrets and the proximity of the Jordan Valley. The writer evoked some of the meanings that he previously mentioned in his book "Buda and Jokes"; For example, he re -evokes the image of Satan as if it is the hidden forces that seek to strip the soul of its will that enables it to acquire virtues, and restrain the whims that lead to the acquisition of vices. And the repetition of meanings is evidence of the Sufis of conscience and the jewelry of thought; The algebraic self is always taken from the soul as a source of revelation, no matter how different ideas and topics. Quote from the book: There was a wedding in the prince''s palace in one of the nights, and the invitees were entering and going out, so a man entered with the entrants and lived the prince with respect and dignity, so everyone looked at him with amazement because one of his eyes was missing and the blood bleeds from her empty click, so the prince asked him, saying: "What did you want you? ». The man answered him, saying: "I am a thief, prince, and I have seized an opportunity in the darkness of this night on my custom, and I went to steal one of the money of one of the al -Sayyifa, and while I climbed the wall to enter Dukan Al -Serafi; I gave up my path and entered from the window of his weaver, so I went back to escape and I did not see anything, so I was shattered by the weaver, my eyes and poverty, and therefore I came to you now seeking to do justice to me from the weaver. : "Rightly ruled, prince, because justice requires the casting of my eyes, but it is not afraid for your highness that I need in my craft to two eyes in order to see my enthusiasm the apartment that I weave, but I have a masculine neighbor who has two eyes like me, but he does not need in his profession only to one eye, So he called him if you wanted and took off one eye to preserve the Sharia, so he sent the prince immediately and summoned the shoes, so he came and uprooted his eyes, and so I supported justice!

"Human reflections and radiances are manifested in this poem, which carries calls to the highest state of love, goodness, beauty and truth ... Injustice, fear, bondage, or selfishness ... These things are found only for a person ... The writer screams in his verses against these grievances as his saying: Justice in the earth cries the jinn if they heard about it and laughs the dead if they look .. as it calls for the highest degree of love And the good is like his saying: Love in the soul is not in the body we know.
