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.

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

Khalil Gibran est un poète et artiste peintre libanais, il a séjourné en Europe et passé la majeure partie de sa vie aux États-Unis. Publié en 1923 et composé de vingt-six textes poétiques, son recueil "Le prophète" est devenu particulièrement populaire pendant les années 1960 dans le courant de la contre-culture et les mouvements New Age. Depuis qu'il a été publié, "Le prophète" n'a jamais été épuisé. Après avoir été traduit dans plus de vingt langues, il est devenu l'un des best-sellers des livres du XXe siècle aux États-Unis.

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.

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'.

Die Geschichten dieses Hörbuchs erzählen von der Sehnsucht nach Liebe, der Sehnsucht nach Sinn und dem Streben nach Wahrheit...

Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer."

Kahlil Gibrans' Spiritual World is a collection of four of the most important books he wrote in the English language and on which much of his reputation rests. The Madman, The Forerunner, The Prophet, and Sand and Foam are all included here in their entirety. Beautifully narrated by '60s legend Arthur Brown, they are a must for inspiration seekers.

The three books that compose this audiobook are collections of Gibran's aphorisms, parables, and poetic essays. The works include his masterpiece, The Prophet, The Forerunner, and The Madman.

Kahlil Gibran, author of "The Prophet", is known throughout the world as The Immortal Prophet of Lebanon and the Savant of his Age. The very heart of the mystic East emerges in this monumental volume of the magnificent poetry and prose that he wrote in his beloved mother tongue, Arabic. Translated superbly into English, here are the nine great books, gathered together in one giant volume and now available in a paperback edition for Gibran's myriad admirers in America.

Der Prophet, das bekannteste Werk Gibrans, wurde 1923 veröffentlicht und seitdem millionenfach verkauft...

Kahlil Gibran's 'The Madman' was the first book he penned in English. Beautifully written, it is a short collection of parables on God, animals, human nature, and life's big questions. Not as well known as his classic: 'The Prophet', but some would say just as inspirational, or possibly more so. Read the first verse here and decide for yourself, or better still, listen to the sample of Arthur Browns' beautiful narration. You ask me how I became a madman.

Kahlil Gibran was Lebanese by birth but spent a major part of his life in America in the early part of the 20th century. He wrote many collections of stories with a wise or whimsical tone, but none more popular than The Prophet, his first collection, or The Wanderer, his final anthology.

Il Profeta Almustafa è vissuto nella città di Orfaslese in solitudine e meditazione per diversi anni. Quando arriva la nave che dovrà riportarlo in patria, tutta la gente della città gli si stringe attorno, e prima dell'addio, lui risponde alle domande che le persone gli pongono, offrendo loro una visione della vita fondata sull'accettazione del sé e sulla tolleranza universale.

Il profeta (The Prophet) è una raccolta di poesie di Khalil Gibran pubblicata nel 1923 a New York dall'editore Knopf. Si tratta di una raccolta di poesie in prosa legate da un filo comune narrativo, nel quale si inseriscono tematiche differenti. È strutturata a domande e risposte: per ogni argomento, un personaggio fa una domanda al Profeta, il quale risponde per metafore e analogie con un testo di tipo poetico. È un testo che ha molto di religioso, pur non inserendosi esattamente in nessuna religione, dato che parla di temi quali lo spirito, la mente, la natura.

Kahlil Gibrans klassiker "Profeten" har lige siden udgivelsen i 1923 berørt mennesker verden over og tillige vaeret en af det 20. århundredes mest citerede bøger. "Profeten" er et lyrisk vaerk, som på samme tid udtrykker et klarsyn og en dyb spiritualitet. Bogen fortaeller om menneskelivets store sandheder, erfaringer og følelser: kaerlighed, død, frihed, religion, fornuft og lidenskab, men også om mere jordbundne emner som love, forbrydelser og straf.

Con il "Giardino", continuano le lezioni di vita del Profeta. In questo, come in altri scritti di Gibran, si parla di amore spirituale. Ecco una delle frasi più intense del libro: "La distanza che vi è tra voi e il vicino che non vi è amico è in verità più grande di quella che è tra voi e la persona che amate e che vive al di là delle sette terre e dei sette mari. Giacché nel ricordo non vi sono lontananze; e nell'oblio vi è un abisso che né la voce né l'occhio potranno mai accorciare."

Gibran fu un poeta e filosofo libanese. Di religione cristiano-maronita, di adozione statunitense, fu punto di riferimento per molti letterati arabi emigrati negli Stati Uniti. Le sue opere, che vogliono richiamare ad una spiritualità che trascende le religioni, furono tradotte in oltre venti lingue.
