Kahlil Gibran: full Arabic name Gibran Khalil Gibran, (January 6, 1883 – April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer of the New York Pen League.

Kahlil Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (north of modern-day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran(Rahmeh). As a young man Kahlil emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero.

He is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s and again, especially in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.

5.0 out of 5 stars The audiobook is so much better than the written book
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2024
I did not read the book "The Prophet" but listened to this audiobook and found it so very inspiring. The music and readers were an excellent presentation of Kahlil Gibran's work. I especially enjoyed that there were several different readers and voices that matched the music. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to be inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece of narration and music
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2023
The Davis Commerce audiobook production of The Prophet is simply wonderful. It is a masterpiece of narration and music. The eight different readers have excellent voices and annunciation. This, combined with the classical music, makes the story come alive as it matches the prose verses perfectly and adds the emotion the author intended.

I love this book and I usually give it as a gift to others. But this print is so cheap looking that I am sending it back. Everything thing about the prints, fonts and quality of paper is so underwhelming.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware - production error
Reviewed in Germany on December 14, 2020

This is not a comment on Gibran's writing, which I love.
It is solely about the production of this edition (and I must assume this is not a one-off thing, though may not be universal), which has been botched.
Now, if you like having a random children's story about a talking tree in German popping up as an interlude in the middle of your reading, this is definitely the edition for you.
If, however, like me, you prefer simply to read the author whose work you actually selected, I'd steer clear. There is an entire (c. 30 pages) German language children's story bound in between pages 28-29 of The Prophet (see photos). You have been warned!
