Publisher Description

In his writings, Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran weaves Christian, Moslem, and Buddhist ideals into a spiritual tapestry that transcends cultural barriers. Gibran is known the world over for his epic poem, The Prophet. This collection of his lesser-known writings reveals the author's insights on youth, love, marriage, and truth, and delves into nationalism, religion, and spiritual growth. Originally written in Arabic, these writings were first translated into French, and are only now available in English.

"Just re-read this book, actually. Although I'm not really into poetry, and especially the abstract kind, I really enjoy a lot of the thoughts and insight shared in some of the subjects touched upon in The Prophet. Something I think I will read again from time to time.. "

    " This is nice and well put together collection of poems from Gibran. The poems in the book were taken from his younger days, before he began to write his work in English. The collection of poems are translated. None-the-less, it's a great book for poetry lovers. "

    " Not as good as The Prophet obviously. Random collection of writings that change back and forth from prose-like to more direct. A few good parts, but most of it kept me wishing for more. "

    " I really liked it; a lot of depth in a small book. But what's up with the antequated language? Maybe some people find that inspiring because it's reminiscent of the King James Bible, but I just find it a bit pretention. "

    " This is a book that I was given by a friend who always carried a spare copy with her to give to others. It's a profound look at the basic philosophies of life that you re-read again and again. It's not long, but will have to coming back to read it on a yearly basis. "
