( ) Couldn't decide on 2 - 2.5 - 3 stars for this one. I've read some of Kahlil Gibran's other works (notably The Prophet and Voices of the Master), and while this was still good in that vein.... it was a lot more of the "I am the soul" or "wholeness of one deity" ala Paulo Coehlo style stuff. Not really my bag, my cup of tea, or my 'hipster new-age' beliefs. This collection of poems/short stories (Tears and Laughter), much as the title gives the impression of - was rather maudlin and depressing. The 'laughter' came from that of death and the joy of the release of it. This was basically a collection singing the praises of death, dying, being dead, suicide, and the joy of the release of life on 'such a grim [insert: shitty - my vocabulary, not his] world' and the embrace of it into this overarching heaven that includes those of all denominations and religions (primarily the Abrahamic ones, Judaism, Islam, Christianity). Its 94 short quick easy to read pages solely devoted to the release of life into this embrace of heaven, through death, particularly suicide in some cases. Eh, I guess not the greatest choice of reading for me - especially lately, and especially in winter. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This classic work showcases the early brilliance and philosophical foundation of Kahlil Gibran, one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century Kahlil Gibran, author of The Prophet and one of the twentieth century's most revolutionary, inspiring writers, effortlessly blends his unique perspective on Eastern and Western philosophy in this early collection of work, written when he was just twenty years old. From delicate turns of phrase to strong assertions of equality, delightful rejoicings to frightening prophecies, Gibran's poetry and prose reveal his eternal hunger for love and beauty. This expanded edition includes key works of social justice such as "The Bride's Bed" and firmly establishes Gibran's role as champion of human rights and individual liberty.
