HARDCOVER NOTIZBUCH KAHLIL GIBRAN DER PROPHET U...

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.
