具体描述
In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya
作者简介
Poet, philosopher, and artist, was born in Lebanon, a land that has produced many prophets.
The millions of Arabic-speaking peoples familiar with his writings in that language consider him the genius of his age.
But he was a man whose fame and influence spread far beyond the Near East. His poetry has been translated into more than twenty languages.
His drawings and paintings have been exhibited in the great capitals of the world and compared by Auguste Rodin to the work of William Blake.
In the United States, which he made his home during the last twenty years of his life, he began to write in English.
The Prophet and his other books of poetry, illustrated with his mystical drawings, are known and loved by innumerable Americans who find in them an expression of the deepest impulses of man's heart and mind.
This quotation is from The Prophet's dust jacket, published by Knopf, NY

评分我读纪伯伦的作品总是有种似曾相识的感觉，直到最近才发现，纪伯伦的《先知》和老子的《道德经》简直一模一样。 更有了一个猜想，纪伯伦是老子的学生。先不用着急否定，也不用盲目的肯定，让我们来看看纪伯伦的《先知》中流露出来的种种痕迹。 让我们先看看两部作品的内容： 老...
评分大一的时候，最好的朋友手捧先知读的心潮澎湃…… 这几天我也在读，同样心神荡漾。 读着读着，心会慢慢平静下来。 "Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For ove is sufficient unto love." "Love ...
评分当初摘抄他的东西的时候，感觉没有《飞鸟集》的好。现在回过头来看，觉得至于现实比较的受用。尤其又看到里面关于朋友的一段，感慨良多： 总该邀朋友共享生命才是。 当你和朋友离别时，不要悲伤； 因为他最为你所珍爱的特质会在他离去后显得更加醒目，...
