For the first time, all the major works of this beloved

writer are gathered together in one hardcover volume.

Poet, artist, and

mystic, Kahlil Gibran was born in 1883 to a poor Christian family in Lebanon and

immigrated to the United States as an adolescent. His masterpiece, The Prophet, a

book of poetic essays that he began while still a youth in Lebanon, is one of the

most cherished books of our time and has sold millions of copies in more than twenty

languages since its publication in 1923. But all of Gibran’s works—essays, stories,

parables, and prose poems—are imbued with equally powerful simplicity and wisdom,

whether they are addressing marriage or children, friendship or grief, work or pleasure.

Perhaps no other twentieth-century writer has touched the hearts and minds of so

remarkably varied and widespread a readership.

Included in this volume are The

Prophet, The Wanderer, Jesus the Son of Man, A Tear and a Smile, Spirits Rebellious,

Nymphs of the Valley, Prose Poems, The Garden of the Prophet, The Earth Gods, Sand

and Foam, The Forerunner, and The Madman.

Reviews for The Collected Works of Kahlil Gibran

[Kahlil Gibran] speaks about fundamental things--those which are, or should be, a part of every human life--love, giving, food and drink, work, sorrow and joy, children, clothes and housing, buying and selling, crime and punishment, freedom, reason and passion, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion and death . . . Like most wisdom, most of what he has to tell is ancient, the possession of all men who have thought much and hard about fundamental things . . . But on it all there is also the imprint of a rich and unusual personality . . . Gibran offers no short-cuts to happiness, no easily mastered formulae for successful living. Essentially, he bids you look closely into your own heart and mind. --NEW YORK TIMES
