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

读后感
富有哲理，却又似潺潺流水缓缓而来。、 语言清丽，文词优美。这本身就是纪伯伦身为诗人的特色， 而冰心的翻译与之相得益彰，使全书更有着别样的音律美，特别适合诵读。
评分从来没觉得诗是这样平易近人的东西。 一直以来都不这么觉得，虽然李白的床前明月光也是很通俗易懂。我也看过很多翻译过来的诗，不是意境全在翻译中成了渣滓，就是看不懂其中深邃的含义，只能望诗兴叹，感慨自己水平低得另人发指。 《先知》就这样颠覆了我的习惯。我从书架上...
评分当代的曙光，被选而被爱戴的亚墨斯达法（Ａｌｍｕｓｔａｆａ），在阿法利斯（Ｏｒｐｈａｌｅｓｅ）城中等候了十二年，等他的船到来，好载他归回他生长的岛上去。 当他行走的时候，他看见从远处有许多男女离开田园，急速地赶到城边来。他听见他们叫着他的名字，在阡陌中彼此呼...
评分描述纪伯伦的作品是困难的，尤其对于《先知》：分析太僵硬而全无意趣，概括太浅薄而隔靴搔痒，至于印象的鉴赏，更如韦勒克在《文学理论》中所讥讽的——不过是艺术品的拙劣模仿。接下来我说的话，对纪伯伦作品发表的意见，也将不免于以上几种批评。但是，假使话语是真诚的，自...

评分字字珠玑！<<For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths.>>
评分不厚的诗集，却在越排越满的schedule下读了快一个月才读完。幸而有这样深挚的灵魂，使人不致沉沦越发现实的迷思。
评分Love possesses not nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
