Poet, philosopher, and artist Kahlil Gibran is known and loved around the world for his spiritual poetry and mystical art, combined here in a special gift edition of his most popular work. A tale inspired largely by nature, "The Prophet" conveys the yearning for a unity of being that can only be achieved, according to the mystic tradition that Gibran followed, through love. Belonging to no single literary tradition, Gibran's inspiring book synthesizes the traditions of ancient times and modernity, East and West, and has been acclaimed by both Muslim and Christian cultures.
