Publisher's Review
A beautiful voice conveying universal human truth and love.
A book of truthful proverbs that heals wounded souls and fills hungry ones!
Kahlil Gibran died at the young age of 48.
However, his life remains legendary as a "prophet."
Kahlil Gibran was recognized as a genius in the Arab world, while in the West his work was compared to that of Blake, Dante, Tagore, Nietzsche, Michelangelo, and Rodin.
This was an unprecedented evaluation for an Asian writer, and his work, The Prophet, is considered a representative poetry collection of the 20th century, following the works of Eliot and Yeats, representative poets of the United States and the United Kingdom.
The reason his work was able to leave such a great impression and resonance is because he created a new world through 'The Prophet'.
What is even more surprising is that it took about 20 years to write, with approximately 20,000 words.
I carried the draft around with me and revised and polished it whenever I thought of it.
It is said that the manuscript was rewritten five times before it was finally submitted for publication.
Just looking at this, you can see how much effort Khalil Gibran put into this work.
Enter a world of soul-awakening teachings with "The Prophet," a work that will deeply move and resonate with you, just as Kahlil Gibran's passion and affection for his work demonstrates.
Come to me, you young souls weary of life! - Kahlil Gibran
