The Prophet Independently Published, 2019 - 131 עמודים The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran was first published in 1932. This beautifully lyrical work includes twenty-eight essays, each covering a different topic. Each essay / poem is about a page or two long. The sections are: * love * marriage * children * giving * eating and drinking * work * joy and sorrow * housing * clothes * buying and selling * crime and punishment * laws * freedom * reason and passion * pain * self-knowledge * teaching * friendship * talking * time * good and evil * prayer * pleasure * beauty * religion * death Each essay becomes a perfect meditation topic or discussion starter. Read for yourself why Kahlil Gibran is the third best selling poet of all time, only behind Shakespeare and Lao Tze! Note that I (Lisa Shea) also have an illustrated and annotated version available, if you'd prefer to have one that has notes on each essay and matching artwork. |
