The Prophet Kahlil Gibran
1923
5/5 stars
Not a book that can be lightly reviewed, the Prophet's poetic prose gives Gibran's mystical views of varied aspects of the human condition, such as death, love, beauty, work, pain, and laws. It is a moving, thought-provoking work that will leave the reader both enlightened and confused.
I usually discuss the classics I read, how it made me feel, what it made me think. Reading the Prophet is a highly personal experience, though, and I find myself reluctant to share.
My copy; notice all the marked passages.
Read for my Classics Club challenge.
