Prema Jeevitham contains twenty-eight selected mystic prose poems of Gibran; best of Gibran selected from about thirty published collections and translated into Malayalam. The poetry of Gibran often uses formal language and spiritual terms; as one of his poems reveals: 'But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.'

Giới thiệu tác giả

Khalil Gibran (1883- 1931) was a Lebanese artist, poet, and writer who wrote in both English and Arabic. 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. Gibran's mysticism is a convergence of several different influences: Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Sufism, Judaism and theosophy. He wrote: 'You are my brother and I love you. I love you when you prostrate yourself in your mosque, and kneel in your church and pray in your synagogue. You and I are sons of one faith—the Spirit.' Gibran's books have been translated into most of the world's languages. Gibran was also an accomplished artist, especially in drawing and watercolor. Gibran believed in the fundamental unity of religions
