具体描述
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
作者简介
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.
This quotation is from The Prophet's dust jacket, published by Knopf, NY

读后感
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...
评分大一的时候，最好的朋友手捧先知读的心潮澎湃…… 这几天我也在读，同样心神荡漾。 读着读着，心会慢慢平静下来。 "Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For ove is sufficient unto love." "Love ...
评分怪事一件便是。只要我身处在教堂的环境里。思路就会格外清晰。记得当年曾看过一本讲述命理的书籍。上面说任何人眼睛与眉毛的距离越远。他就越会对宗教信仰有着格外的理解和执着。书中还拿若干和尚伊斯兰教徒举例。但是否真的属实。却一直不得而知。 两年前的一段时间我曾...
评分这书是高中买的中英对照版本！ 现在每天睡前看看，就当时复习英语了！ 黎巴嫩是个好地方，纪伯伦是个好人！ 读吧，先知先觉！

字字珠玑！<<For self is a sea boundless and measureless. Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths.>>
评分老派过度就不见得是好事了。
评分Much of your pain is self-chosen.
评分读的版本是德国人出的。现在正在对着字典读第二遍。第一遍读下来有几章很不错，有几章不理解。尤其像Love那一章，很虐很亚洲的感觉=_,=
评分认真读下来我觉得最近纠结的所有问题都解决了。生命甘泉。
