The Prophet: New English Translation

In this edition, the classic wisdom poetry of Kahlil Gibran's original text gets fresh new language makeover. Where the original sometimes relied on stodgy, antiquated phraseology, this new version is pitched perfectly to the contemporary ear, while keeping the timeless insights and foregrounding the beautiful language of the original 1923 edition. "Gibran's masterwork gets a much-needed facelift by today's leading epic poet."

The original text was panned by most poetry critics. Here's a version they can celebrate. "The difference is refreshing: like switching from the 'King James' version to the 'New Jerusalem.' Brilliant work. Will be much appreciated by fans of Gibran and those discovering him for the first time."
