The heart of the mystic East emerges from this work by the celebrated author of "The Prophet", and from the outside one feels the tremendous mood, the electrifying boldness, the terrible magnetism of the immortal Gibran. Although these writings appear to be autobiographical in nature, they clearly reveal Gibran as a prophet of penetrating vision and objective understanding. He warns ominously of the grave and unseen dangers yet to befall this world on its stormy path of intrigue, maladjustment, and border consciousness. On the religious side, he displays a brilliance of spiritual insight and a determination of dedication that persist and probe until they pierce the outer self.

WOW!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of the Heart (Paperback)
I've never read a book that touched me so much! Gibran writes in vivid figurative language and lots of imagery. He strums strings of the heart with his insight into situations and stories. Also, if you like this, you'll love Broken Wings.

Kahlil Gibran is brilliant, but,
By btb_anon (Silicon Valley, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of the Heart (Kindle Edition)
$9.99 is far too much to charge for a single out of copyright book like this.
A collected works of Kahlil Gibran would be much fairer in this price range.
