Description
Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was a Lebanese American writer, poet and artist. He is most famous for his great work, The Prophet - one of the bestselling books of all time.The Prophet is a collection of 26 prose poetry fables which are divided into chapters dealing with topics such as family and marriage, crime and punishment, and reason and passion. It is thematically similar to the theological musings of William Blake, Walt Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson, while also being influenced by traditional Arabic writing and modern surrealism. Though initial reception to the work was cool, its popularity grew markedly in the 1960s when it was picked up by the American counterculture and New Age movements.Since its publication in 1923, The Prophet has been translated into more than 100 languages and has never gone out of print. Reproduced for our cover is one of Gibran's handwritten English drafts of the work, currently held at Princeton University Library's Special Collections, Manuscripts Division. We are honoured to add this monumental work to our Embellished Manuscripts Collection.
