Summary: The Master of Words
Review: All I have to say is that Kahlil Gibran is the master of literary emotion. I only hope to someday write even just one piece that can hold a flame to his writings. This book is unbelievable.

Summary: I find myself looking at the world through others' eyes.
Review: Gibran uses words in a way that makes you question your own beliefs, ideas and views of yourself and the world that surrounds you. Every piece of work makes you feel something new, like a seedling sprouting inside yourself. Making you realize more and more about who you want to become and what kind of life you are living now. Each time I open this book, my heart begins to pound because I know that I am about to embark on a great adventure into a spiritual world full of wonder.

Summary: The poem of love flows towards the sprituality of life!
Review: Gibran!!! Among my 19 year long reading this is one of the best experiences ever I've had... I suggest you just buy the book... go to woods or a park just sit and submerge your self into the world of Gibran! And you'll come back enlightened!!!

Summary: Little Known Book, Best Reading Ever
Review: Got this book hardbound version from my father about 15 years ago. it was a wonderful book then and still will be. It's one of those little known books, one of many that I found now and again, that are the best books written. Get this book and check it out. I highly recommend Two Wishes, Satan and Cry of the Graves. Not the lightest of reading but are certainly thought provocking.

Summary: Stunned
Review: I borrowed this book from a friend and she never got it back. I have read it in its entirity more than five times and I still am stunned at the beauty of his writings. This is the perfect mix of his writings, it gives you a really good introduction to the beautiful work that he does. Really the only thing that it is missing is the Prophet.

Summary: A Master
Review: I don't believe all readers would share the response I had, and this would be a shame, for rarely have I been so moved. This contains poems, short prose and stories- Some are beautiful parables, some are narratives of his past, others include gentle condemnations of harmful passions or yearnings for a better world; all (excluding, perhaps, the letters) are worth reading for any sort of audience, revolutionary or romantic, religious or humanist, idiot or intelligent, and so on.
Some parts of this book seemed unreal. So wonderous was the flow of words and the manifestation of Gibrans mind that I felt tears at the incredible beauty of the whole, I even shuddered in joy brought about by the realisation that this work of art exists- kind of like when first reading the Brothers Karamazov, seeing a Michaelangelo, or viewing a spectacular film of nature (Blue Planet, Pattagonia and the like); one is left in awe.

Summary: The greatest collection of Gibran's spiritual works yet.
Review: I found this book to contain many of the best of Kahlil Gibran's profound and inspirational writings. It has the complete text from previous books that are now out of print. It is truly a must for all Gibran fans

Summary: A new dimension all togather
Review: Though I am not a very avid reader, but this is one of the most astonishing book I have ever come across. This is the third time I am buying this book. Everytime some of my friends takes it to read it and it never comes back. Everytime you flip thro' this book, its different all the time. There is a new discovery waiting for you every time.
