( Jan. 9, 2019)
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.
