The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran. Alfred A Knopf, 1967
Perhaps never have truer words been written and perhaps never as
beautifully. An absolute “must read” for any and all people of this
earth.
From the dust jacket: This book, which is Gibran's masterpiece, has become one of the beloved classic of our time.
From the back cover: His power
came from some great reservoir of spiritual life else it could no have
been so universal and potent, but the majesty and beauty of the
language with which he clothed it were all his own.” - Claude Bragdon.
