النبي (1923) أشهر كتب جبران خليل جبران، كتبه بالإنجليزية وترجم إلى أكثر من خمسين لغة، وهو يعتبر بحق رائعة جبران العالمية، مضمونه اجتماعي، مثالي وتأملي فلسفي، وهو يحوي خلاصة الآراء الجبرانية في الحب والزواج والأولاد والبيوت والثياب والبيع والشراء والحرية والقانون والرحمة والعقاب والدين والأخلاق والحياة والموت واللذة والجمال والكرم والشرائع وغيرها، وقد وردت على لسان نبي سمي “المصطفى” ورسالة النبي رسالة المتصوف المؤمن بوحدة الوجود، وبأن الروح تتعطش للعودة إلى مصدرها، وبأن الحب جوهر الحياة. وفي كتاب النبي يعبر جبران عن آرائه في الحياة عن طريق معالجته للعلاقات الإنسانية التي تربط الإنسان بالإنسان.
حمل جبران بذور هذا الكتاب في كيانه منذ طفولته. وكان قد غير عنوانه أربع مرات قبل أن يبدأ بكتابته. وفي تشرين الثاني 1918، كتب إلى “مي زيادة” يقول “هذا الكتاب فكرت بكتابته منذ ألف عام..”. ومن عام 1919 إلى عام 1923، كرس جبران جل وقته لهذا العمل، الذي اعتبره حياته و”ولادته الثانية”. وساعدته “ميري” في التصحيحات، إلى أن وجد عام 1923 أن عمله قد اكتمل، فدفعه إلى النشر، ليظهر في أيلول نفس العام.
“النبي” كتاب متميز جداً من حيث أسلوبه وبنيته ونغمية جمله، وهو غني بالصور التلميحية، والأمثال، والجمل الاستفهامية الحاضة على تأكيد الفكرة نفسها، من يستطيع أن يفصل إيمانه عن أعماله، وعقيدته عن مهنته؟، أو ليس الخوف من الحاجة هو الحاجة بعينها؟.

The people of the first nomadic empire left no written records, but from 200 BC they dominated the heart of Asia for 400 years. They changed the world. The Mongols, today’s descendants of Genghis Khan, see them as ancestors. Their rise cemented Chinese unity and inspired the first Great Wall. Their heirs under Attila the Hun helped destroy the Roman Empire.
We don’t know what language they spoke, but they became known as Xiongnu, or Hunnu, a term passed down the centuries and across Eurasia, enduring today in shortened form as ‘Hun’. Outside Asia precious little is known of their rich history, but new evidence reframes our understanding of the indelible mark they left on a vast region stretching from Europe and sweeping right across Central Asia deep into China.
Based on meticulous research and new archaeological evidence, Barbarians at the Wall traces their epic story, and shows how the nomadic cultures of the steppes gave birth to a ‘barbarian empire’ with the wealth and power to threaten the civilised order of the ancient world.
A tiny island community is stunned by the discovery of a long-buried body.
For Stella Harvey the news is doubly shocking. The body has been found in the garden of her childhood home – the home her family fled without explanation twenty-five years ago.
Now, questioning her past and desperate to unearth the truth, Stella returns to the isolated island. But she quickly finds that the community she left isn’t as welcoming as she remembers – and that people in it will go to any length to protect their secrets.
Since then, the sole focus of Maria’s life has been to find her mother and bring her home, so that life could go back to normal. But as Maria grapples with a house in shambles, an angry father, a sullen brother, life lived on takeaways, and her growing attraction for the class hero, the Basketball Guy, she slowly uncovers clues about Ammi’s disappearance.
An insightful and funny tale of growing up with a single parent from Andaleeb Wajid, the acclaimed author of several novels including More Than Just Biryani

‘Superb . . . weaves winningly between the present and the second world war, between Tangiers and Paris.’ Observer
Here is Paris as you have never seen it before – a city in which every building seems to hold the echo of an unacknowledged past, the shadows of Vichy and Algeria.
American postdoctoral researcher Hannah and runaway Moroccan teenager Tariq have little in common, yet both are susceptible to the daylight ghosts of Paris. Hannah listens to the extraordinary witness of women who were present under the German Occupation; in her desire to understand their lives, and through them her own, she finds a city bursting with clues and connections. Out in the migrant suburbs, Tariq is searching for a mother he barely knew. For him in his innocence, each boulevard, Métro station and street corner is a source of surprise.
In this urgent and deeply moving novel, Faulks deals with questions of empire, grievance and identity. With great originality and a dark humour, Paris Echo asks how much we really need to know if we are to live a valuable life.

Afropean is an on-the-ground documentary of areas where Europeans of African descent are juggling their multiple allegiances and forging new identities. Here is an alternative map of the continent, taking the reader to places like Cova Da Moura, the Cape Verdean shantytown on the outskirts of Lisbon with its own underground economy, and Rinkeby, the area of Stockholm that is 80 per cent Muslim. Johny Pitts visits the former Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow, where West African students are still making the most of Cold War ties with the USSR, and Clichy Sous Bois in Paris, which gave birth to the 2005 riots, all the while presenting Afropeans as lead actors in their own story.
A novel of suspense, family ties, and twisted passions from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Obsession…
The Bodine ranch and resort in western Montana is a family business, an idyllic spot for vacationers. A little over thirty thousand acres and home to four generations, it’s kept running by Bodine Longbow with the help of a large staff, including new hire Callen Skinner. There was another member of the family once: Bodine’s aunt, Alice, who ran off before Bodine was born. She never returned, and the Longbows don’t talk about her much. The younger ones, who never met her, quietly presume she’s dead. But she isn’t. She is not far away, part of a new family, one she never chose – and her mind has been shattered…
When a bartender leaves the resort late one night, and Bo and Cal discover her battered body in the snow, it’s the first sign that danger lurks in the mountains that surround them. The police suspect Cal, but Bo finds herself trusting him – and turning to him as another woman is murdered and the Longbows are stunned by Alice’s sudden reappearance. The twisted story she has to tell about the past – and the threat that follows in her wake – will test the bonds of this strong family, and thrust Bodine into a darkness she could never have imagined.

A modern classic of courage and excitement.” —The New Yorker • The source for the iconic prison-escape film starring Steve McQueen
Henri Charrière, nicknamed “Papillon,” for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil’s Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped . . . until Papillon. His flight to freedom remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken.
Charrière’s astonishing autobiography, Papillon, was first published in France to instant acclaim in 1968, more than twenty years after his final escape. Since then, it has become a treasured classic–the gripping, shocking, ultimately uplifting odyssey of an innocent man who would not be defeated.
