A Third Treasury of Kahlil Gibran Kindle Edition

by Kahlil Gibran (Author), Andrew Dib Sherfan (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 8 ratings
A revelatory collection of essays and poems by a master of Eastern philosophy
In these writings, Gibran offers verses and lyric prose that possess all the grandeur of rich music. Here are the great truths and heartening joys drawn from the tears and sufferings of man. Each work sparkles with simile and symbolism, from “Seven Reprimands,”containing wise rules to live by, to “The Sayings of the Brook,”about the secrets to beauty, wealth, and virtue. These are profound exaltations of a great soul, and a trove of wisdom as relevant today as when it was first written.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Progress is not merely improving the past; it is moving toward the future.” —from “Handful of Beach Sand” “Life is not only a merriment; life is desire and determination. Wisdom is not in words; wisdom is meaning within words. Greatness is not in exalted position; greatness is for he who refuses position.” —from “The Sayings of the Brook” “One hour devoted to the pursuit of beauty and love is worth a full century of glory given by the frightened weak to the strong.” —from “The Wisdom of Kahlil Gibran”

About the Author

Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) was an essayist, novelist, and mystic poet. He wrote The Prophet, a collection of philosophical essays that went on to become one of the bestselling books of the twentieth century. Though he was born in Lebanon, he moved to Boston’s South End as a child and studied art with Auguste Rodin in Paris for two years before launching his literary career. Much of Gibran’s work contains themes of religion and Christianity as well as spiritual love.

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.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2011
    President Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address famous quote was taken from Khalil's "The New Frontier" poem, published in 1925. Khalil's work is wonderful!
