Product Details for The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran (Pocket Size)

The Prophet is Khalil Gibran's masterpiece, his most celebrated statement about the truths of human experience.  Since their initial publication seventy years ago, the incomparable works of Khalil Gibran have been translated into more than twenty languages.  Infused with a timeless wisdom about life and death and written in spare beautifully cadenced poetical language, his work is s modern classic. 

Kahlil Gibran 1883-1931, poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets. The milions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writing 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 drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake. One of his paintings hangs in the Arab American National Museum.  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.

This 105 page tiny treasure of a book printed in English is only about 4 inches by 5 inches and hardcover with jacket.
