About The Book:

This book features the second set of Khalil Gibran’s 18 profound metaphors, translated into Marathi by the renowned V. S. Khandekar. Gibran's writings are a unique blend of poetic brilliance, philosophical depth, and critical thinking, which not only captivate the reader but also offer a deep, contemplative insight into life's essence.

In this collection, Khandekar introduces a fresh perspective on Gibran's work, taking readers beyond the surface level. Gibran’s stories, though initially seeming like dark, enigmatic caves, reveal their true brilliance once understood. They are like hidden treasures that, when uncovered, illuminate the complexities and beauty of life.

These metaphors, though brief, convey powerful reflections on the human condition. They speak to the soul’s journey, its struggles with truth, injustice, and adversity. At the heart of each story lies an ultimate aim: to increase sanctity and bring the reader into a more enlightened, spacious, and sublime world.

The translation by Khandekar allows Marathi readers to connect deeply with Gibran’s timeless wisdom, providing clarity and a heightened awareness of life's greatest truths. Each story offers a fresh perspective on the highs and lows of existence, urging readers to reflect on their own life journeys and the broader human experience.
