I go with the wind, people of Orphalese, but not down into emptiness; And if this day is not a fulfilment of your needs and my love, then let it be a promise till another day.” The beloved prophet Almustafa (meaning “The Chosen One”) has lived within the city walls of Orphalese for twelve years. He has walked among the people and formed a deep connection to the place, but he knows this is not where he ultimately belongs. On the seventh day of Ielool (“the month of reaping”), Almustafa climbs a hill beyond the boundaries of the city wall and gazes out across the misty sea. He is filled with joy as he catches sight of the ship that has come to free him from exile. As he bids farewell to the people of Orphalese, Almustafa speaks with them on the topics closest to their hearts. His series of sermons form the 28 prose poems of this book. The Prophet is a work of fiction, written by Lebanese-American artist, poet, and philosopher Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a key figure in Arabic literary modernist movement, which spanned the first half of the twentieth century. As a product of his culturally-rich upbringing, Gibran’s work beautifully blends religious traditions and philosophies from around the world.

Vida contemplativa: Elogio de la inactividad
Un poderoso llamamiento a abandonar la vida hiperactiva para recuperar el sentido de nuestras vidas, el equilibrio y la riqueza interior. Estamos perdiendo nuestra capacidad de no hacer nada. Nuestra existencia está completamente absorbida por la actividad y, por lo tanto, completamente explotada. Dado que solo percibimos la vida en términos de rendimiento, tendemos a entender la inactividad como un déficit, una negación o una mera ausencia de actividad cuando se trata, muy al contrario, de una interesante capacidad independiente. Byung-Chul Han indaga en los beneficios, el esplendor y la magia de la ociosidad y diseña una nueva forma de vida, que incluya momentos contemplativos, con la que afrontar la crisis actual de nuestra sociedad y frenar nuestra propia explotación y la destrucción de la naturaleza.

Et si les arbres tentaient de nous comprendre: Conte Philosophique
Pour nous conter ces histoires, Oriance (nom de plume de Geneviève THOMAS) donne la parole aux arbres et aux végétations de son jardin. Elle leur attribue des rôles et dessine les choses de la vie des humains. L'auteure manie les mots avec subtilité et lyrisme. Elle nous renvoie à notre jardin secret, là où poésie, philosophie et social se rencontrent pour notre plus grand plaisir.

Audiobook
This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS) History is full of psychotic killers with a horrific and utterly barbarous a list of murders and more. From the first documented serial killer who took over 200 lives to the one they called the Night Stalker, who used numerous weapons such as handguns, knives, a machete, a tire iron, and a hammer. The gruesome and depraved list is long... It is in fact a 16th century Hungarian Countess who holds the record being the most prolific female serial killer of all time with over 650 victims. A serial killer in India hammered over 70 people to death. The Milwaukee Cannibal raped, murdered and dismembered over a dozen men and boys. In fact the list of horrific and barbarous acts goes on and on. We can only deduce that an underlying primordial darkness has been part of mankind since the moment we became conscious and walked upright. A darkness so deep and so black it is unfathomable to most.....an evil we cannot escape... This is the story of that darkness that haunts our souls and takes some over the precipice into a realm of abomination beyond description.

O conceito de perfectibilidade na pedagogia Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Devido à Pandemia de 2020 (COVID-19), enfrenta-se uma crise econômica, social, cultural em escala mundial e, ao adaptar-se, o processo de comercialização, a educação e os contatos interpessoais tornaram-se praticamente virtuais. Esta obra propõe um olhar sobre a capacidade do ser humano de adaptar-se e de aperfeiçoar-se de acordo com as adversidades da vida, que Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Pai da Pedagogia) apresenta-nos em seu projeto pedagógico. Como o núcleo de seu pensamento repousa na capacidade de sociabilidade do ser humano, mostra-nos o caráter ambíguo de perfectibilidade: a corrupção que diz respeito aos vícios e à incapacidade do ser humano de aperfeiçoar-se e, como antítese, a perfectibilidade seria uma ação em direção à virtude e à justiça, derivada da elevação do amor-próprio, resultado da tensão entre o amor de si e o amor próprio. Essa última aparece como uma possibilidade de formação humana ideal, em todas as dimensões, para formar um homem virtuoso com autonomia política, mas também como uma alternativa ao processo de 'desnaturação', com o entrelaçamento da educação e a política, para se alcançar uma construção de sociedade ideal. Rousseau diz: '[...] dos primeiros movimentos do coração erguem-se as primeiras vozes da consciência, e como nascem as primeiras noções do bem e do mal dos sentimentos de amor e de ódio; mostraria que justiça e bondade não são apenas palavras abstratas, meros seres morais formados pelo entendimento, mas verdadeiras afecções da alma iluminadas pela razão.' (ROUSSEAU, 1995, p. 309).

Lamentations - The World English Bible, Book 25 (Unabridged)
The Book of Lamentations is a collection of poetic laments for the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BCE. In the Hebrew Bible it appears in the Ketuvim ('Writings') as one of the Five Megillot (or 'Five Scrolls') alongside the Song of Songs, Book of Ruth, Ecclesiastes and the Book of Esther although there is no set order. In the Christian Old Testament it follows the Book of Jeremiah, as the prophet Jeremiah is its traditional author. However, according to modern scholarship, while the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586/7 BCE forms the background to the poems, they were probably not written by Jeremiah. Most likely, each of the book's chapters was written by a different anonymous poet, and they were then joined to form the book.

Daniel - The World English Bible, Book 27 (Unabridged)
The Book of Daniel is a 2nd-century BC biblical apocalypse with a 6th century BC setting. Ostensibly 'an account of the activities and visions of Daniel, a noble Jew exiled at Babylon', it combines a prophecy of history with an eschatology (a portrayal of end times) both cosmic in scope and political in focus, and its message is that just as the God of Israel saves Daniel from his enemies, so he would save all Israel in their present oppression.

Hosea - The World English Bible, Book 28 (Unabridged)
Hosea, son of Beeri, was an 8th-century BC prophet in Israel and the nominal primary author of the Book of Hosea. He is the first of the Twelve Minor Prophets, whose collective writings were aggregated and organized into a single book in the Jewish Tanakh by the Second Temple period, forming the last book of the Nevi'im; but which writings are distinguished as individual books in Christianity. Hosea is often seen as a 'prophet of doom', but underneath his message of destruction is a promise of restoration. The Talmud claims that he was the greatest prophet of his generation. The period of Hosea's ministry extended to some sixty years, and he was the only prophet of Israel of his time who left any written prophecy.
