The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece, The Prophet, is one of the most beloved classics of our time--a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual, and, above all, inspirational. Published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages.The Prophet contains powerful words of wisdom on such essential subjects as marriage, children, friendship, work, and pleasure--words that readers from around the world have found inspirational and life-changing. A poet, artist, and mystic, Gibran was born to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and emigrated to the United States as an adolescent, where he began studying art. The twenty-eight poetic essays collected in The Prophet are illustrated with twelve of his full-page drawings. Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so remarkably varied and widespread a readership.
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931), a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and author, united beauty and spirituality in his philosophy. His best-known work, The Prophet, became a countercultural guide in the 1960s, and his writings are now a part of wedding and graduation traditions.
