Kahlil Gibran's masterpiece has become one of the most beloved classics of our time.  Published in 1923 it has been translated into more than twenty languages and is said to have been outsold only by the Bible.

Gibran was a poet... philosopher and artist born in Lebanon and millions of people familiar with his writings consider him the genius of his age... others believe him to be the only modern day prophet to have set foot on the face of the earth.

He began to write in English in the United States... where he lived during the last twenty years of his life... and if anyone can read this masterpiece... without being inspired they are indeed dead to life..!
