«El loco» is a collection of parables and poetic tales by Khalil Gibran, published by Editorial Sirio in paperback (118 pages, in Spanish).
A work made up of parables, short stories and brief lyrical pieces that invite readers to look beyond appearances. Gibran posits self-knowledge as the root of wisdom and presents those who shed social masks as mad to others; thus, authenticity, solitude, freedom and the search for truth challenge conventionalism.
The first book Gibran published in English, it originally appeared as The Madman in 1918; this 2001 edition offers the text in Spanish.
This work is aimed at readers of poetry, philosophy and spirituality with a taste for short, evocative texts.
Jubrān Khalīl Jubrān, usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran, was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist. He was also considered a philosopher, although he himself rejected the title. He is best known as the author of The Prophet, which was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.
