Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya
Product Description:
A brilliant man's philosophy on love, marriage, joy and sorrow, time, friendship and much more. Originally published in 1923 - translated into more than 20 languages. With 12 full page drawings by Gibran.

The Prophet was given to me by a good friend when my Dad passed away twenty years ago. I loved it the first time I read it and I have given several copies away to friends/family who have lost someone they loved or had a problem I thought the book could help them with. I have 2 copies at home now and I often refer to it. A book you won't want to part with.

this book is written from a very interesting perspective. though the verbage is dated, which makes this simple book a little more difficult to read, i intend to read it again to more fully grasp what the author is conveying in his masterpiece. good book...

The Prophet delivers a philosophy for living which covers a wide spectrum of subject areas. It is easily in my top-ten favorites of all the books I have read. I've purchased many copies for gifts for others, and never travel without my own worn but wonderful copy.

I read the prophet for the first time in the 70's.
As a poet and writer, this book has had a tremendous
influence on me. Kahlil Gibran is without a doubt
one of the most talented thinkers and writers I have ever read.
So deep was his influence that 15 years later
I named my first born Kahlil Gibran.
Over the years, I have owned at least 20 copies of this book,
and have given them all away to people I treasured.
Read this book, and then sit and ... Read More
