Riassunto

Visions of the Prophet brings more of Gibran’s writings to an audience curious about who Gibran was and what else he wrote. A companion volume to The Eye of the Prophet, Visions is Gibran’s most intellectually challenging book yet. Poems, short essays, and the dramatic play "The Many-columned City of Iram" trace the development of a young man through middle age to the end of his life, when he writes movingly about facing death. Mystic, patriot, and poet, Gibran urges us to uproot complacency and corruption, and champion Love and Truth.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Praise for The Eye of the Prophet:"In these writings Kahlil Gibran takes us out of the wilderness into the joys and sorrows of everyday urban life. More personal and poltical than The Prophet, the book nonetheless sings with Gibran's lyricism and abiding wisdom."—Wes 'Scoop' Nisker, author of Crazy Wisdom, co-editor of the Buddhism journal 'The Inquiring Mind'"This book shows once again why the writings of Kahlil Gibran have been such a rich source of spiritual inspiration in our modern world."—Jacob Needleman, author of The Heart of Philosophy

L'autore:

Kahlil Gibran is known to Western readers for his phenomenally successful poem The Prophet, which sold over six million copies worldwide. He was born in 1883 in Lebanon and lived in the Middle East until 1921, when he moved to the United States. Written in Arabic, his books have been translated into twenty languages. Poet, philosopher, and artist, he was compared by August Rodin, the French sculptor, to William Blake.
