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
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...
评分我的放家里了 回家继续看 最好能背过（双语的） 这样的话估计英语也会提高的！ 里面包括了很多方面 记得里面有个说有关友谊的 还在谋网转载 不过反映很平淡 似乎能做到人的很少 但不代表没人做到 配合克里希拉木提的一起看也不错
评分怪事一件便是。只要我身处在教堂的环境里。思路就会格外清晰。记得当年曾看过一本讲述命理的书籍。上面说任何人眼睛与眉毛的距离越远。他就越会对宗教信仰有着格外的理解和执着。书中还拿若干和尚伊斯兰教徒举例。但是否真的属实。却一直不得而知。 两年前的一段时间我曾...
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...
