The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran. 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.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kahlil Gibran

Kahlil Gibran (Djubran Kahlil Djubran) was born in 1883 in Bcharré, a Maronite Christian village in the mountains of northern Lebanon. His childhood was one of extreme poverty and, in 1895, he emigrated to the USA with his mother and siblings. He was living with his family in the slums of Boston when his artistic talent caught the attention of photographer and editor Fred Holland. Through Holland, Kahlil began to frequent Boston's literary and artistic circles. He returned to Lebanon to finish his studies and left in 1908 for Paris, where he studied with Auguste Rodin. In 1912 he moved to New York, where he devoted himself to painting and wrote for some Arab newspapers. From the publication of his first works, he was considered a figure of great importance in modern Arabic literature. With the publication of The Prophet in 1923, his literary reputation was definitively established. He died in 1931.
