Gibran, who had been working on this book for some years before his death, always intended it as a companion piece to The Prophet. Here as there, mellow wisdom and a mystic sense of beauty are communicated in language that is true poetry. To read this book is like spending a day of sunlight and fresh wind at an outdoor shrine of Nature.
Illustrated with seven drawings by the author and two facsimile manuscript pages.
KAHLIL GIBRAN 1883-1931
Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets. The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age. But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages. His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake. In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English. The Prophet and his other books of poetry, illustrated with his mystical drawings, are known and loved by innumerable Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of man’s heart and mind.
By Kahlil Gibran THE PROPHET
This book, which is Gibran’s masterpiece, has become one of the beloved classics of our time. Published in 1923, it has been translated into more than twenty languages, and the American edition alone has sold more than 3,000,00 copies.
Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: “I think I’ve never been without The Prophet since I first conceived the book back in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me. . . . I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer.”
The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: “Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one’s ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes. . . . If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man’s philosophy and a singing in the heart as if music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth.”
