I appreciate getting the book at the great price. I'm really not complaining but the book was quite yellow and the jacket was torn in various places. It looked like it was on the shelf for quite a while........Maureen
Summary of The Prophet (Penguin Modern Classics)
1 cassette / 90 minutesUnabridged
The Prophet is Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece, his most celebrated statement about the truths of the human experience.
Gibran considered The Prophet to be his greatest achievement.??First published in 1923, The Prophet has been translated into more than twenty languages, and has become one of the beloved classics of our time.??Cherished by millions, the universally inspiring words of The Prophet are here magnificently read aloud.
The Kahlil Gibran Companion is also available from Random House AudioBooks.
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. --Brian Bruya
