About the author
Kahlil Gibran
1,480 books15.4k followersKahlil Gibran (Arabic:
جبران خليل جبران
) was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer.
Born in the town of Bsharri in modern-day Lebanon (then part of Ottoman Mount Lebanon), as a young man he emigrated with his family to the United States where he studied art and began his literary career. 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 Lao-Tzu.

This is a book of 3 stories each told in the loving style of Gibran. I loved the first story. I felt that the third story went on a bit too long in preaching, and could have been "shown" through actions rather than in a sort of sermon.

A wonderful piece of writing, with love infused and inspired parables reflecting on our real and daily lives. The Love Sony, Tears and Laughter, At the Fair, also stories told beautifully, very short spacious in that they leave you with room to think about the things discussed in parable style. Very worthwhile and highly recommended.
