Each text in its own way invites reflection and meditation. The theme running through the pieces is love - a love that is coloured with both tears and smiles. Gibran's passion for the first woman he loved, his youthful visions, his compassion for humanity and his feeling for art and beauty - all these blend in an inspiring collection that is pervaded above all by the poet's strong sense of mysticism.
Gibran's very soul is encapsulated in a book that transcends all barriers of race or creed and reaches out to touch the inner being of its readers. It will enthral all those for whom The Prophet is a treasured work to turn to in moments of joy, sorrow or contemplation, and is a perfect sequel to The Eye of the Prophet, a previous collection of Gibran's writings available from Souvenir Press.
