具體描述
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
著者簡介
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.

讀後感
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，...
評分 評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...
用戶評價
老派過度就不見得是好事瞭。
评分讀的版本是德國人齣的。現在正在對著字典讀第二遍。第一遍讀下來有幾章很不錯，有幾章不理解。尤其像Love那一章，很虐很亞洲的感覺=_,=
评分I have reached an age where spiritual books can't break me into tears anymore. But I reckon I can still take comfort from the fact that at least they can help me finish my sandwich 。_。
评分Love possesses not nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love.
评分It's in the vast man that you are vast
